White oak (Quercus alba) Belleville, Ontario

The tree has stood on a floodplain for 250 years. It measures 156.4 cm DBH and is located on abandoned farm land in the east end of the city. Bell Creek runs through the land supplying water drainage to the Bay of Quinte. A number of the tree’s seeds have generated offspring surrounding the parent tree. Efforts have been undertaken to save this tree from development.
