WHITE OAK      Quercus alba

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 tree can grow to 100' in the woods. The White is hardy from zone 3 to zone 9. Slow to medium growth rate.
