How to Grow and Care for White oak

White oak is a majestic deciduous tree, typically achieving heights of 24-30 meters (80-100 feet) with an impressive spread up to 24 meters (80 feet). In its youth, white oak possesses a pyramidal structure, maturing into a tree with a broad, rounded crown. Its light ashy gray bark is characterized by scaly vertical blocks. The leaves of white oak exhibit a notable elliptic shape with fingerlike lobes, rounded tips, and no bristles, turning a dark green above and glaucous below. The tree showcases male flowers as yellowish-green catkins and less conspicuous reddish female flowers. Acorns, the fruit of white oak, are 2-2.5 centimeters (3/4 to 1 inch) long, maturing from green to an earthy tan and partially encased by a distinct, textured cap.
