White Oak
Quercus alba
AKA - White Oak
The White Oak is a stalwart heavyweight player in the eastern deciduous forest. It produces reliable mast for animals populations, incredible volumes of leaf biomass to support insect and bird populations, and fills in a large percentage of the local forest canopy. Leaves are often a brilliant red/orange in the fall.
A single mature 300 year old tree can produce several hundred pounds of acorns per year. The benefits planting an oak is myriad, but what is especially noteworthy about white oaks is their resistance to many oak diseases. Thanks to their closed cell structure, invaders have an extremely difficult time working their way through the tree. This make the White Oak a reliable addition to any landscape.

YOU personally will be responsible for making hundreds of pounds of food for local wildlife year-after-year, for HUNDREDS of years! Our nursery stocks bulk oak seedlings during bare root season for conservation projects in the Delaware Valley Area at low cost. Plant a dozen of these anywhere you can!
