The white oak is a large slow growing deciduous, hardwood tree in the beech (Fagaceae) family and can reach heights of 135 feet with an 80-foot spread but generally tops out at 80 to 100 feet. It is native to the eastern United States and is usually found in forested areas of dry slopes, valleys, and ravines. Young trees are typically pyramidal in form, but as the tree matures it has a rounded and broad crown. The distinct feature of this tree is its fingerlike lobed leaves with rounded tips and no bristles. Use white oak as a shade tree for large yards or parks, or in a naturalized area for wildlife to enjoy. It is suitable for butterfly, children’s, drought-tolerant, edible, native, nighttime, and pollinator gardens. However, it should not be planted near structures or pavement due to its eventual size
