White Oak
This large, majestic, and long-lived oak holds year long interest. It is a dominant tree in many Ozark woods with round-lobed leaves and smooth, medium-sized acorns. In the spring, the foliage is pinkish-white which opens to a medium-green in summer followed by brown to various shades of wine red in fall. It is a durable, long-lived tree with ash-gray and scaly bark.
