State Trees Series: Maryland, White Oak

The state tree of Maryland is the white oak (Quercus alba), designated in 1941. This strong, long-lived tree is known for its broad canopy and durable wood, which has been used for shipbuilding, furniture, and barrels. One of the most famous white oaks, the Wye Oak, stood in Maryland for over 450 years before falling in 2002. White oaks provide food for wildlife through their acorns and contribute to the state's forests. The tree symbolizes strength, resilience, and Maryland's rich natural heritage.
