Oak ?

Common Names: White Oak???

Latin Names: Quercus bicolor

Type: Tree

Origin: Native

Edible: x

Notes: Grows very large and some trees are several hundreds of years old. Can grow as wide as it is tall. Online information says the trees don't produce acorns until it is at least 50 years old, germination rate is only 10%, and the amount of acorns vary every year. Our 2 trees in the front yard are in their 20's (planted as an acorn by the previous home owners) and produce lots of very large acorns in the last two years and we see lots of seedlings below the tree. We've planted several acorns and are starting new trees. The biggest problem has been that deer eat the seedlings.

Barks has a series of holes around the circumference on both trees in the front and the tree in back. Believed to be yellow-bellied sapsucker holes.

***Not sure of oak species. Neighbor says this is White Oak but it doesn't seem to fit into normal northern U.S. distribution and leaf shape is wrong. App says Pendunculate oak or sessile oak. ***
