White Oak
Quercus alba, commonly known as the white oak, is a majestic and durable deciduous tree that enhances large landscaped gardens or parks with its spreading habit and deep green foliage that turns splendid orange-red hues in autumn. Very hardy, it tolerates harsh winters well and establishes itself durably in full sun on well-drained soils, offering high ornamental and ecological value. Appreciated for its exceptional longevity and steady growth, the white oak also provides shelter and food resources for a wide diversity of wildlife, including birds and insects. This large shade tree integrates perfectly into generous landscaping, bringing structure, habitat, and seasonal beauty to the landscape while being relatively easy to maintain once well-established.
