The English Wide Oak is a heavy-producing white oak selected for one thing that matters when managing ground for wildlife: consistency. With dependable annual acorn production and an early September drop, it provides a valuable food source right as deer begin transitioning into their fall patterns.
The parent tree used for this selection has been monitored for more than 15 consecutive years without missing an acorn crop. That kind of reliability makes the English Wide Oak an excellent addition to a long-term mast and habitat management plan.
