White Oak Tree

Our white oak trees make a wonderful shade tree for any yard with a canopy spread of 50’ to 80’. During the fall, the leaves of the white oak tree turn beautiful shades of red or burgundy. They are known for their strong branches and can live for centuries. White oaks are a fairly slow-growing tree that grows about 12 inches to 24 inches per year. Even though they prefer well-drained acidic soils, they are tolerant of alkaline, shallow, or urban soils. They will survive dry or drought periods and occasionally wet soils. They are sensitive to changes in grades and compacted soils. They have a deep taproot that makes them hard to move or transplant once they are established. 

The White Oak Tree Have Acorns

Like other types, they produce acorns. Their acorns are as large as 1 inch with a cap that covers the top quarter of the acorn. They do not produce acorns every year, and they can start producing acorns when they are 20 to 30 years old. Weather conditions like excessive rain, drought, and wind can affect acorn production. Acorns from these trees mature in a single season.
