\nWhite Oak<\/a> is a long-lived, slow-growing tree, reaching 60 to 100 feet in height with a spread of 50
\nto 90 feet in its native bottomland soil (Fig. 1). Old specimens can be massive, growing to be several
\nhundred years old. Since trunks can be six feet in diameter leave plenty of room for this tree in the
\nlandscape. The trunk flares out at the base lifting sidewalks and curbing if planted in tree lawns less
\nthan eight feet wide. The red fall color is fairly reliable year to year and is outstanding among the
\nOaks in USDA hardiness zones 8a and colder areas. Brown leaves may be held on the tree into the early
\npart of the winter.–Gilman and Watson<\/a>

\nAccording to the USDA’s Woody Plant Seed Manual, Quercus is the largest genus of trees
\nnative to the United States (Little 1979) and was designated as the \u201cnational tree<\/a>\u201d by the National Arbor Day Foundation in 2004.
\nWhite oaks<\/a> typically don’t bear acorns until their twentieth year. The large seedcrop years are spaced out, every four to ten years.
\nNurseries don’t do much of a job propagating these.
\nThis time last year I had twenty of these juveniles in pots<\/a>. This year I haven’t been able to find a single acorn. I’ve checked in four counties. Bicycled to neighborhood in CHO looking for acorns where they are typically plentiful. No joy.
