White Oak 1 Live Tree – 3 Gallon Pot – Quercus alba

White Oak (Quercus alba) is a long-lived deciduous hardwood tree native to eastern and central North America. It is valued for its distinctive rounded-lobed leaves, strong branching structure, and importance in native forest ecosystems. Its foliage is typically green during the growing season and may develop shades of reddish-brown, burgundy, or muted purple in autumn.

In spring, White Oak produces inconspicuous flowers, including slender male catkins. Mature trees can develop acorns that provide an important food source for birds, squirrels, deer, and other wildlife. As a native oak, Quercus alba also supports a wide range of insects and contributes to biodiversity in woodland and naturalized landscapes.

White Oak generally performs best in full sun and deep, well-drained soil. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral growing conditions and develops a substantial root system over time. This tree is particularly suitable for native landscapes, woodland restoration, spacious residential properties, and long-term shade tree plantings.

You will receive one live White Oak tree in a 3 gallon nursery pot.

Pot Size: 3 Gallons.

Shipping height is not specified.

Plant Form: Young nursery-grown tree.

The plant is supplied as a young tree rather than a mature landscape specimen. Actual trunk development, branching, foliage density, and overall appearance may vary according to nursery growth and seasonal conditions.

White Oak is deciduous and naturally loses its leaves during colder months. Some young oak trees may retain dry, brown leaves through part of winter, a natural condition known as marcescence. Plants may ship dormant, leafless, recently pruned, or with retained dry foliage depending on the season.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
