The many species of American oak trees often live for centuries if circumstances are favorable. Pin oaks are among the least vigorous with an average lifespan of only 100 years. In general the red oak varieties with open heartwood pores do not live as long as white oaks. White oak heartwood is more dense and less susceptible to insect and fungal attack. Red oak commonly lives to about 200 years. White oak's average lifespan is about a century longer.
