Size/Age: 1-year seedling, 10-16 inches tall
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 3-9
White Oak (Quercus alba) is considered by many wildlife biologists to be the single most important tree for deer and wildlife. These seedlings represent an investment in your hunting property's future, as they will grow into majestic trees that produce bumper crops of nutritious, sweet acorns eagerly sought by deer.
Our White Oak seedlings are grown from carefully selected acorns gathered from superior parent trees known for heavy production. Each seedling is container-grown with a well-developed root system to ensure successful transplanting.
White Oaks typically begin producing acorns in 10-15 years (sooner than most people realize), and will continue for centuries once established. Unlike Red Oaks, White Oak acorns have lower tannin content, making them immediately palatable to deer without the need to leach bitter compounds through rainfall.
Benefits for Wildlife/Hunters:
Produces highly preferred, sweet acorns sought by deer, turkey, and other game
Creates predictable fall feeding patterns when mature
Provides excellent browse for deer in seedling and sapling stages
Establishes multi-generational wildlife habitat that improves with age
Planting Instructions: Plant in full to partial sun. Oaks adapt to various soil conditions but prefer well-drained sites. Space 40-60 feet apart if planning for mature trees, or 10-15 feet apart for future thinning.
Care Requirements: Water regularly during the first growing season. Protect young seedlings from deer browsing until well established. Once established, oaks are extremely resilient and require minimal care.
Bulk Price: $15 each for 5+ trees
Shipping Notes: Ships bare-root during dormant season. Oaks develop deep taproots—avoid disturbing the root system during planting for best results.
