White oak tree

Description:

The white oak is a large tree that grows to a height of 100 ft. The trunk is typically 2 to 4 feet in diameter. Grown trees in open areas have widely spreading, rigid, horizontal branches which form a broad, round-topped crown.

Habitat:

White oak trees can tolerate a variety of wet and dry soils, but grow best on well-drained slopes, uplands or terraces. Juvenile trees require full sun, but mature trees are more shade-tolerant.
