Description
| White Oak | ||
| Description | White oak (Quercus alba) is a large, long-living deciduous tree. White oaks are some of the best trees for wildlife, especially because of their acorns and role as a host plant to many caterpillars, an essential food source for birds. They make great shade trees. White oaks face an aging population, which makes planting them so important. White oak lumber is valuable for its durability and rot resistance. This wood is used in barrels for distilling bourbon and whiskies. White oak is a good pasture tree but needs to be guarded while young as it is a preferred browsing plant for deer. | |
