Swamp White Oak

The Swamp White Oak is a hardy and adaptable tree that thrives in wet, swampy conditions, but has the unique ability to also withstand drought. This flood-proof tree can reach heights of 50-60 feet with a spread of 40-50 feet. The foliage is a rich dark green with a whitish underside, turning golden yellow to brown in the fall. The attractive light gray bark becomes deeply furrowed with age, adding character to any landscape.  The tree's acorns provide a valuable food source for wildlife, and its sturdy wood is used for furniture and flooring due to its durability. Native Americans utilized the acorns of Swamp White Oak as a food source, and early settlers used the wood for barrels, furniture, and home building due to its strength and resistance to rot. Swamp White Oaks can live for more than 300 years, making them a long-lasting addition to any landscape. This deciduous oak tree is perfect for naturalizing wetland areas or adding resilience to landscapes.
