When an acorn or oak nut grows up it finally turns into an Oak Tree.
Unfortunately for the majority of Hot Copper followers of this political debate forum, it takes a very long time for this growth to occur.
The white oak tree species (Quercus alba) is a tall deciduous tree that grows up to 100 feet tall. The growth process is a slow one, with white oaks producing new growth at a rate of 10 to 15 feet within a span of 10 to 12 years, according to the Clemson University Extension. Though growth is slow, white oaks have a life expectancy surpassing 100 years.
