White Oak Tree Facts: Info on White Oak Trees

The mighty, majestic oak tree has, throughout the centuries, been the subject of story, song and proverb. More than 80 species of this beautiful oak tree are found in North America.

All oaks trees are deciduous trees with toothed leaves and heavy, furrowed bark. The fruit is, of course, the acorn. Like other deciduous trees, most oaks shed their leaves in fall. However, in warmer areas of the continent, some varieties, the live oaks, keep their greenery throughout the winter. Oak Trees have always been economically important for their hard, strong wood which has a multitude of purposes including furniture and flooring. The oak tree also have landscape uses although mature trees can dominate smaller sites.

White Oak Acorns are 1-3 cms long and egg-shaped with approximately one quarter enclosed by shallow cup.

The acorns from a white oak tree are identified as sweet acorns, but don't let the name fool you! They are not very tasty when eaten raw as they still contain some tannins. Once boiled in water to remove the tannins the acorns can be dried, roasted or ground into flour and used in cakes, pies or cookies.

White acorns have marginal value and are best enjoyed by forest animals, such as squirrel, deer, mice.
