	Oregon white oak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Oregon white oak can have the characteristic oval profile of other oaks when solitary, but is also known to grow in groves close enough together that their crowns form a canopy.
		This abnormal growth (a gall) is formed by the oak around a colony of wormlike larvae belonging to one of several species of tiny wasps.
		However, recently the wood, which is similar to that of other white oaks, has been used experimentally in Oregon for creating casks in which to age wine.

	WDFW -- Management Recommendations for Washington's Priority Habitats: Oregon White Oak Woodlands
		Priority Oregon white oak woodlands are stands of pure oak or oak/conifer associations where canopy coverage of the oak component of the stand is 25%; or where total canopy coverage of the stand is <25%, but oak accounts for at least 50% of the canopy coverage present.
		Oregon white oak woodlands are used by an abundance of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
		Conifer encroachment is a significant threat to remaining oaks, particularly on the west side of the Cascades and in portions of the Columbia Gorge, and is aggravated by urban development, fire suppression, timber conversion, and cattle grazing.

		Oregon white oak often grows very slowly, putting on less than one foot of growth per year and taking well over 100 years to reach its maximum height of 60-70 feet.
		Oaks persist on the poorly drained, heavy clay and coarse-textured soils of floodplains and river terraces that are very wet in the winter but droughty in the summer (see Bottomland Hardwood and Riparian Forest for more about this growth-form).
		Tent caterpillars have a preference for oaks and gall wasps are common on Oregon white oak.
