✅ The white oak can be expected to grow in Hardiness Zones 3–9 . This is a shade tree, featuring a spreading canopy capable of blocking sunlight. The white oak grows to a height of 50–80’ and a spread of 50–80’ at maturity. This tree grows at a slow to medium rate, with height increases of anywhere from less than 12” to 24” per year. Full sun and partial shade are best for this tree, meaning it prefers a minimum of four hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day.
✅ The white oak prefers slightly acidic to neutral, deep, moist, well-drained soil. While adaptable to other soil textures, it is intolerant of alkaline, shallow or abused urban soils. It can, however, tolerate moderate drought and occasional wet soil. This tree Provides great fall color, with leaves turning showy shades of red or burgundy. Develops notably strong branches. Can live for centuries. Features alternating leaves that are 4–8” long with 3–4 rounded, finger-like lobes on each side and one at the tip. Intervening sinuses sometimes reach almost to the mid-rib.
✅ Produces long, yellowish-green catkins drooping in clusters in the spring. Yields acorns that are up to 1” long with warty cap that covers about ¼ of the nut. Grows in an oval or rounded shape. Develops a deep taproot, making it difficult to transplant. Is extremely sensitive to soil compaction and grade changes.
✅ Wildlife Value : The acorns are one of the best sources of food for wildlife and are gathered, hoarded and eaten by birds, hoofed browsers and rodents. Leaf buds also are eaten by several bird species, and all parts of the tree are a favorite food for deer.
