  • About

According to a report published by the US Forestry Service in 2014, there were 35,694 million cu ft/1,020 million cu m of commercially important selected white oaks in the eastern United States, although only a certain proportion of this would be suitable for cooperage, where the quality criteria are much higher than for pulp and veneer. The ratio of annual growth to annual harvest is around 1.5 to 1. Quercus alba covers most of the eastern United States, extending east from Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas, north of Mexico, and south of Canada and Maine.
