foliage is bluish-green, to reddish-brown in fall. Grows best in
a deep, loamy, well drained soil. The Quercus Alba is the tree from
which the phrase The Mighty Oak was coined. An excellent specimen
tree needing plenty of room to mature properly. Also the most prolific
lumber oak in the Northern Hemisphere. Advantages of White Oak are
that they are easily transplanted when young and they have a high
resistance to ice breakage and oak wilt. They are a long lived tree
and require very little maintenance.
