Sawtooth Oak spacing and mature footprint

Space Sawtooth Oak 35 ft apart, measured center to center (10.7 m).

The mature spread is about 40 ft (12.2 m), so neighboring plants just meet at maturity without crowding.

Treat 35 ft as a planning baseline — cultivar and local growing conditions shift the final footprint.

Three plants set 35 ft apart, center to center; shaded circles show the 40 ft mature spread.
