Best Answer

104 Feet
. . . Correction: The tallest White Oak currently recorded is 144 feet. Oaks grow magnificently tall in the forest, but when they have room to spread, they will sacrifice some height and grow out like a mushroom, spreading out hundreds of feet in diameter if allowed to live long enough.

Because oak trees grow so slowly, they are incredibly dense, and thus "a hardwood" (in contrast to the fast growing pine tree, which is a "softwood"), so any oak tree over 100 feet is usually well over a century old, perhaps even 2-300 years.
