White Oak

  This is the longest living tree native to eastern North America. Some specimens live over 600 years. It also grows as tall as 30m in height. Even though it has "white" in its name, it's actually grayish. The tree is used to make barrels to hold whiskey and other liquids. It grows around dry to moist soils in uplands and bottom lands. It blooms in mid-spring and grows in 36 out of the 50 states in the United States.
