White oak is a native hardwood widely regarded as one of the most valuable tree species for wildlife habitat, forest management, and long-term stewardship. Growing 80 to 100 feet tall, it performs best on moist, well-drained soils and produces acorns that serve as an important food source for deer, turkey, squirrels, and many other wildlife species. White oak is also highly valued for its exceptional timber quality, longevity, and role in sustaining healthy forest ecosystems.
