The classic oak found in many parks and gardens in New Zealand. Broadly-spreading, long-lived tree. Relatively slow-growing. Produces durable heartwood timber. Hardy; tolerates a range of sites including heavy clay soils and exposure. Inoculated with the Bianchetto Truffle (Tuber borchii).

The Bianchetto Truffle or Little White Truffle is grown for its excellent aroma and flavour. Highly variable. Grows to 5cm or more in diameter, with smooth skin and a pale-yellow to reddish-brown appearance. Prefers sandy limestone soils, and associates with a variety of host trees, including oaks, hazels, and conifers. Harvest is typically from Winter to Spring.
