Size: 2-3' / Age: 1-0 / Growth Rate: 1-2 feet per year. The Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor) is a medium to large deciduous tree native to North America, primarily found in wetlands, floodplains, and along riverbanks. It typically grows 50-70 feet tall, with a broad, rounded crown that becomes more irregular as the tree matures. Known for its adaptability to wet soil conditions, it is a common choice for landscaping in areas with poor drainage or areas prone to flooding. In the fall, the leaves turn yellow to golden-brown, providing vibrant seasonal color. Swamp white oak produces acorns that are medium-sized and have a shallow, knobby cap. These acorns are an important food source for a wide variety of wildlife, including squirrels, deer, and birds. The tree?s bark is light gray and develops shallow, flaky ridges as the tree ages. This oak thrives in moist, well-drained soils but is also tolerant of a variety of soil types, from loamy to clay-rich soils. Its resilience, beauty, and wildlife benefits make it a valuable addition to both natural ecosystems and cultivated landscapes.
