Description + Attributes:

Swamp white oak is a striking tree with attractive peeling bark, especially on young trees. The lustrous, lobed leaves have a two-tone appearance, dark green on top with a silvery-white underside. Fall color is an orange-gold to yellow in mid-autumn. An excellent shade tree for any landscape.

  • Has a good resistance to Oak Wilt
  • One of the easiest oaks to transplant and more tolerant of poor drainage than other oaks.
  • Tolerant of slat, drought, and heat.
  • Alternate, simple, rounded to coarsely lobed leaves with variable wavy margins.  Dark green above with silvery0white underside.
  • Leaves turn to golden or orange brown in fall.
  • Wood from this tree, although often more knotty, is used in much the same way as that of the White Oak.
  • In wet areas this tree will develop a dual-layered root system, using the upper layer during wet conditions (typically in the spring) and switching to the lower roots during dried periods (such as later in the summer).
