Russ; The big advantages that I' ve read about are that the trees bear in 7-8 years and that they are very prolific. They are also in the white oak range for sweetness of nuts. Some varieties (Gobbler) have smaller nuts which turkeys prefer. The wood is not as valuable as white oak but it is hardwood with timber/firewood value. You may want to hedge your bets: plant half sawtooth oaks for the short term and half white oaks as a long term investment.
