Oak-White 15C

White Oak (Quercus alba) is a magnificent native shade tree featuring broad, rounded lobed leaves that emerge soft pinkish-green in spring, mature to rich green in summer, and develop beautiful shades of burgundy-red and russet in autumn, complemented by a strong trunk and a majestic, spreading canopy. Thriving in full sun with deep, well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil and moderate moisture, this stately oak is an excellent choice for spacious lawns, parks, and large residential landscapes throughout central Illinois. White Oak offers exceptional longevity, excellent cold hardiness, and tremendous wildlife value through its acorns and native habitat benefits, providing generations of dependable shade and natural beauty once established.
