An essential keystone species to North America and New England, White Oak is one of the best plants you can add to your garden or landscape if you live in the NorthEast. These towering beauties have been reported to live up 600 years old. Green, hardy leaves and acorns grow out through the Spring and summer; and transition into red leaves lasting the fall all the way into the first couple of snows during winter. Whether nurturing this tree for timber & coppicing, appeal & aesthetic or even for food, White Oak will bring life, beauty and movement in the form of all species to any space.
