Valley Oak, also known as California White Oak, is a large deciduous oak native to California's interior valleys and known as California's mightiest oak best for shading a big outdoor area. The massive trunk and limbs have uniquely checked grey bark. Picturesque limbs are long and twisted often drooping to sweep the ground. Dark green leaves are rounded and deeply lobed covered in downy hairs. Found in the valleys, a water source is preferred and can tolerate seasonal flooding but not waterlogged conditions.
How big does a Valley Oak get?
Mature trees can reach 60–70 feet tall and 60–100 feet wide. They develop a broad canopy and a sturdy trunk with deeply furrowed bark.
How fast does a Valley Oak grow?
Growth is moderate to fast—around 2 to 3 feet per year when young, slowing as the tree matures. It’s long-lived and can survive for centuries in good conditions.
What kind of sunlight and soil does it prefer?
Valley Oaks grow best in full sun and deep, well-drained soil. They’re well adapted to California’s valleys and foothills.
How much water does it need?
Water deeply but infrequently during the first few years. Once established, it’s highly drought-tolerant and thrives with little to no irrigation.
