White oak is a long-lived, slow-growing tree, reaching 60 ft. to 100 ft. in H with a spread of 50 ft. to 90 ft. in its native bottomland soil. Old specimens can be massive, growing to be several hundred years old. The White Oak produces medium to large sized acorns with a warty cap that begin their descent in mid October through November. The acorns can provide a quality, easy meal for deer and other critters. Since trunks can be 6 ft. in Dia leave plenty of room for this tree in the landscape. The trunk flares out at the base lifting sidewalks and curbing if planted in tree lawns less than 8 ft, W. The red fall color is fairly reliable year to year and is outstanding among the oaks in USDA hardiness zones 7 and colder areas. Brown leaves may be held on the tree into the early part of the winter. Cold hardy in zones 3-9.
