As a consequence of its dry habitat and ridgetop exposure, Quercus montana is not usually a large tree, typically growing to 59–72 feet tall; specimens growing in better conditions can grow up to 131–141 ft tall. They tend to have a similar spread of 59–72 ft. A 10-year-old sapling grown in full sun will stand about 16 ft tall. This species is often an important canopy species in an oak-heath forest but can be a great shade tree. Its acorns are also an important food source for various wildlife.

Seedlings are 10 in - 18 in tall.

Arrives in a cardboard box with roots, potting soil, and water beads, wrapped and sealed around the stem, with food grade, vacuum sealer plastic.

Upon arrival, you will need to plant and water the seedling immediately.

Can be stored in a small flower pot until it can be planted outdoors.
