Ramona Holloway shows how to spot a white oak by its two-toned bark, one side moist and green, the other whitish and ashy. The acorns feed squirrels, raccoons, deer, and birds. She invites you to find shade beneath one in Charlotte.
Ramona Holloway here, and I am enjoying the shade of the magnificent white oak. Now, you might be wondering, why is this called a white oak? On this side, very moisturized and green. On this side, whitish, a little ashy. But here's the beauty. Food. Acorns for the squirrels. The squirrels and the raccoons and the deer, even some birds. Slow down, find a shady spot, and appreciate the beauty of the Queen City.
