CELEBRATING NATIVE TREES: White Oak (Quercus alba) is a majestic tree with a massive trunk and rounded shape, 75 to 100 feet tall, that grows in sun to part shade and dry to moist soil. It provides acorns, cover, and nesting sites for birds and small mammals, and is the most supportive plant for Lepidoptera, providing nourishment to the caterpillars of well over 500 butterflies and moths. This tree is best used as a lawn tree for large landscapes.
