White oak Bark

Latin Name: Quercus alba
Common Names: White oak Bark

White Oak Bark, which comes from the Quercus alba tree, is ready for purchase in both cut and sifted as well as powdered forms. The Quercus alba is a hardwood tree native to the Eastern United States whose wood resists rot; certain of this wood is commonly used for making wine barrels. The bark of the tree is grey to white colored and has a tendency to peel off the tree. It also goes by the common name of Tanner's bark because it contains Tannin.
