The White Oak tree (latin: Quercus alba) is a long-lived oak native to Eastern and Central North America. It is rare to find a white oak with white bark – usually a light gray in colour; the colour refers to the finished wood.

Trees grown in a woodland will generally be taller than those growing on their own – on their own they grow short and wide.

The White Oak typically grows out in the open, and is part of the oak savanna ecology – an ecology type often simulated in restoration agriculture, growing nut crops in alleyways along with Apple trees, currants, and other species. (See 'Restoration Agriculture' by Mark Shepard for more information).

The Oak Tree is a symbol of stability, power and strength, wisdom and longevity.
