Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana) is a native deciduous tree that has an open, rounded crown. The mature bark is brownish gray and shallowly fissured in a checker-like pattern. Leaves are oblong to obovate, 8-15 centimeters long, and deeply lobed (5-7 rounded lobes). Oak woodlands and oak savannas have historically provided critical habitat for insects, birds, and other wildlife. With the rapid decline in this vital PNW habitat, Oregon White Oaks are an excellent addition to your yard’s landscape.
