Description
Description
The Swamp White Oak is a big and beautiful tree with a dark green upper leaf and white underside giving its botanical name bicolor. Swamp white oak makes a great shade or street tree due to its ability to adapt to a wide range of soils from dry to flooded bottom ground. In the fall the leaves turn brown to a reddish purple color. Swamp White Oak leaves remain on the tree through the winter making it a great option for a deciduous windbreak tree row. The acorns are large and sweet and attract a variety of wildlife.

As the name implies the swamp white oak is a bottomland species but does not grow in a swamp. Grows well in most places in zones 3-8 but does not like high pH soils and can cause yellowing of the leaves. It is a large 80-foot spreading oak that can endure weeks of flooding but not constantly wet soil. It is a very nice yard tree and a good windbreak tree.
For a deciduous windbreak, we recommend putting it with other species and spacing them 12 ft apart in a single row, we like to use them on the outside of evergreen windbreaks. Keep 30 ft from any evergreens to prevent light and root competition. If wanting to use deciduous trees for a windbreak contact us on what is currently working best for your situation.
