Observation

White oak is part of the native woodland and provides the bark used for the biodynamic oak bark preparation. It can be easily identified by its bark which runs in longer strands as you go up the tree and turns from a light brown to an almost ashy white toward the top. It creates a large fruity acorn beloved by squirrels and other forest dwelling rodents.
