Sawtooth oak is a robust broadleaf evergreen tree, distinguished by its oblong leathery leaves and serrated leaf margins. Its bark is dark with a rough texture. This species thrives in subtropical forests, often contributing to the forest canopy. The tree produces inconspicuous yellowish flowers followed by spiny, cup-shaped fruit holding edible seeds, which are a vital food source for local wildlife.
