The White Oak is a true legend of the North American landscape and performs exceptionally well in the Houston metro area. This 30-gallon (30G) specimen is a legacy tree, capable of living for centuries. It features distinctive lobed leaves that are bright green in summer before turning a rich burgundy or wine-red in the fall. While it grows at a moderate pace, its strength and resistance to wind make it an ideal choice for large Houston properties. It is adaptable to various soil types but prefers deep, well-drained loamy soils.
Exposure
Full Sun
Height x Width
50-80' Height x 50-80' Width
