Quercus alba
The White Oak (Quercus alba) is a majestic, slow-growing hardwood tree native to North America, known for its strong, durable wood and vibrant fall color. Growing 50-80 feet tall with a broad, spreading canopy, the White Oak features lobed leaves that turn shades of red, purple, and bronze in autumn. Its acorns are a vital food source for wildlife. Highly valued for its timber, which is used in furniture, flooring, and barrels, the White Oak is also prized for its longevity and resilience, thriving in a variety of soil types and offering excellent shade and aesthetic value in landscapes.
