The White Oak tree is native to Northeastern North America. One of our most majestic trees when grown in the open. White Oak has a wide-spreading, rounded habit. This is a very imposing specimen when full grown and one of the most handsome oaks. It is easy to identify by its scaly light grey trunk and round, lobed pinnate leaves that are deep green above and pale beneath. The fall color varies from brown to a rich red then to a wine color and lasts for long periods of time. Indians ground the white meat of the acorns and used it as a type of meal. These acorns are the most edible of all oak acorns because they contain the least tannin. White Oak was much prized for shipbuilding in Colonial times. It is now used for flooring, furniture and general construction.
The white oak is one of our most important, largest, longest-lived and mostvaluable timber trees. It grows to 100 feet in height and 3 to 4 feet in diameter.
The single leaves are 4 to 7 inches long and about half as broad,deeply divided into seven to nine rounded, finger-like lobes. The young leaves are a soft, silvery gray or yellow to red when unfolding, later becoming bright green above and much paler be low.
The acorn is about 1 inch long, elliptical, and covered about 1/3 its length by a finely scaled, rounded cup.
The twigs are fine, and gray to green in color. The bark is ashy gray to a very light gray and decidedly scaly. On older trunks it is somewhat ridged, but remains ashy gray and scaly.
