White Oak is a large, strong, imposing Wisconsin native specimen tree. It has a stocky trunk with wide-spreading horizontal limbs that are picturesque. Its foliage turns to a brilliant display of colors in autumn with showy shades of orange, red, and violet. This oak can live for centuries which is important to take into consideration when selecting a site to ensure the tree lives its best life.

Oaks are at the pinnacle of wildlife value.

Oaks support more life forms than any other North American tree genus. They provide food and/or protection to a wide variety of wildlife, from birds to bear to insects. It’s estimated that oak trees support around 900 species of caterpillars in the United States. Like all oaks in the White Oak group, their acorns have less tannin than those in the Red Oak group. This makes them more palatable and preferable to wildlife. More than 180 different kinds of birds and mammals use oak acorns as food including squirrels, blue jays, crows, woodpeckers, deer, turkey, quail, mice, chipmunks, ducks, and raccoons.
