About English Oak
This is the oak of the Druids and King Arthur's Round Table! Classified as a member of the white oak section, English Oak is native to a huge swath of territory in Europe and the Caucasus. It has a reputation for its wide circumference, and is indeed the thickest tree in all of Northern Europe. Also known as Truffle Oak or Pedunculate Oak, English Oak produces an excellent and highly sought-after wood for wine barrel making. A tough-as-nails tree.
