Quercus alba
Choose White Oak if you have a large, open yard and want a long-lived native shade tree with real presence. The tradeoff is patience: it is slow to size up and needs room you cannot fake later.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | White Oak becomes a major shade tree with a broad, grounded look that anchors a large property. |
| Growth Rate | C | It grows slowly, so choose it for the long term rather than quick shade. |
| Maintenance | B | It is tough once established, but leaf and acorn cleanup should be expected. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | F | This tree gets too broad and heavy-branched for small yards or tight foundation areas. |
| Screening Value | D | It casts shade well, but it is not the right plant for dense privacy screening. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend White Oak only when the planting area is clearly large enough. If the site is borderline, choose a smaller shade tree now instead of fighting the tree later.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
