Quercus alba
The story
The white oak stands as a silent witness to centuries of history across eastern and central North America. Spanning a massive native range from Quebec and Minnesota down to eastern Texas, these majestic hardwoods are so resilient that individual trees have been documented living for more than 450 years, bridging the gap between ancient wilderness and the modern world.
