Common Name: white oak
Scientific Name: Quercus alba
Category: Historic tree
Comments: This tree is one of only two large oaks left on the Va Tech campus east of the Grove and Hillcrest. This fall (2010) a contractor working for Va Tech moved in under the tree with heavy equipment and excavated a 6-8 foot ditch along the east side of the tree, removing a pickup bed full of roots. The tree is probably over 200 years old.
