The Eastern sister to our native white oak (Quercus garryana) ranging from Eastern US to the Mississippi. Identifiable by its whiteish gray, textured bark and deeply lobed pinnate leaves, as well as 1 inch acorn fruits. Conical shaped when young, maturing into a graceful, rounded, wide canopy deciduous tree that can tolerate a large range of conditions (growing in USDA hardiness zones 3-9). Fall brings deep foliage colors of russet red and purple to rich brown. Excellent food for deer, squirrels, and host plant to an incredible amount of butterflies and caterpillars. It is also heavily valued for its wood, though we prefer its aesthetics in the landscape.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
