Dead leaves of White Oak White Oak Quercus alba grows to a height of about 30 metres and it gets its name for the light colour of its timber. It is a slow-growing tree that can live to a considerable age. Leaves of the White Oak have rounded lobes and in the fall they turn a rich purple-brown. The acorns are elongated in shape with the cup coming about a quarter of the way up the nut. Like the seeds of other oaks the acorns are distributed by animals such as squirrels which carry them away and bury them. [CH] {NT}
