White Oak has a broad, round,
dense head, spreading branches and purple-red fall colors. White Oak
leaf is dark green in summer and hang on thru the winter as most
Oaks do. Interesting flaky bark. I consider the White Oak one of the
more beautiful of Oaks. The nut of the White Oak tree is about
1" long covered 1/3 by the cap, ripens the 1st year.
White Oaks can be transplanted Balled and burlapped when small.
White Oaks have a tap root that grows beneath the trunk in soil that
drains well, but this is not present on most trees planted on clay
or compacted soil. By using our
root bags to control root growth should help growers of nursery
plants make more of these native trees available. White Oak grows
best in moist soil that does not dry out for long periods. Trees are
usually well structured and require little pruning after 20 years
except to remove dead wood. Early pruning should concentrate on
maintaining a central trunk. Branches should be spaced about 18 to
24 inches apart.
White Oak grows in sun or partial shade and prefers an acid, moist,
well-drained soil. There are no major pest concerns with White Oak
but there are a good many pests that have potential to cause some
damage. The gypsy moth is one of the more destructive pests of the
oaks. White Oak
