The glossy leaves are up to 8 inches in length by 3 inches wide and resemble those of the Chestnut tree, hence the name. The large, 1.5-inch-long acorns which fall in Autumn are particularly sweet-tasting and relished by many types of wildlife. The chestnut oak is also admired for its attractive deeply ridged and furrowed dark brown to black bark.
