Quercus alba - White Oak

The majestic White Oak (Quercus alba) is a rare and highly sought-after tree in New Zealand, prized by collectors and gardeners alike for its beauty, heritage, and unique edible acorns. With only a handful of these trees across the country, adding a White Oak to your garden is a statement of sophistication and sustainability.

What Makes Quercus alba Special?

  • Edible Acorns: White Oak acorns are sweeter and lower in tannins than most oak species, making them suitable for human consumption.

  • Medicinal Benefits: Traditionally, acorns were used for their anti-inflammatory properties and are rich in carbohydrates, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins B6 and E.

  • Stunning Aesthetics: With its broad canopy and vibrant autumn foliage, the White Oak is perfect as a shade tree, feature tree, or to line a driveway for a grand, timeless look.

Preferred Growing Conditions

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun or partial shade.

  • Soil: Prefers well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Adaptable to different conditions once established.

  • Size & Spacing: Grows up to 25-30 meters (80-100 feet) tall with a wide-spreading canopy. Space trees at least 10-15 meters (30-50 feet) apart to allow for full development.

  • Lifespan: This iconic tree can live for centuries, making it a legacy addition to your garden.

Preparing Acorns for Human Consumption

  1. Harvest: Collect mature acorns in autumn.

  2. Leach Tannins: Shell the acorns and soak in water, changing the water daily for 5-7 days until the bitterness is gone.

  3. Dry & Use: Once leached, dry the acorns and grind into flour or roast for a nutty, nutritious snack.

Why Choose Quercus alba?

  • Rare in New Zealand: Very few White Oaks exist in the country, making them a true collector’s tree.

  • Versatility: Ideal for providing shade, enhancing driveways, or as a stunning focal point in your landscape.

  • Legacy Planting: This tree is an investment in the future, providing beauty, habitat for wildlife, and edible resources for generations to come.

  • "Happy Head is going great for me, I've been taking it for the last 2 months. I have a lot more energy & a clearer head, I definitely notice when I forget to take it in the morning. Happy Head has also helped with my narcolepsy (sleep disorder) & tiredness/ sleep attacks, I'm on prescribed medication to keep me awake during the day. I didn't like how the medication was going, I had to keep increasing my daily dose to stay awake. Now I take 1 Happy Head capsule in the morning & I've been able to cut back my prescribed medication by more than 50% a day.
