Quercus bicolor

Quercus bicolor

Oak - Swamp White

The Swamp White Oak is one of our most beautiful native trees, growing to a magnificent broad tree that tolerates both wet and dry situations. When young, the bark is attractively mottled with scales of tan, gray and brown. The fall color is shades of yellow and orange, changing to a soft russet-tan in winter. Juvenile trees retain their winter foliage and are often confused with White Oaks, since the leaves are very similar. Acorns provide an important source of winter wildlife food (wild Turkeys in particular love them). 2023 PHS Gold Medal Plant.

PRN Preferred:  This is the most versitile Oak we know of for variable sites, and it is one of our favorite native trees.
