Celebrate the trees of North America with this magnet featuring North America's giant, multi-purpose tree. The White Oak (Quercus Alba) is known for it's giant canopy, edible acorns, and versatile wood.
This tree not only can grow to amazing heights (up to 145 feet tall), they can live for over 400 years! The wood is pale, with beautiful medullary rays when quartersawn which stand out as distinctive stripes and reflective flecks. Besides it's beauty, white oak lumber is water- and rot-resistant, making it perfect for ship-building and construction. It's also the only wood allowed to be used in the production of bourbon whiskey!
They are the state trees of Connecticut, Illisnois, Iowa, and Maryland.
