Description
Swamp White Oak is a large, resilient shade tree that thrives in wet conditions, making it well-suited for Massachusetts landscapes. Its dark green leaves emerge with a grayish-green hue in spring before turning a striking copper-bronze in the fall. With an upright, spreading habit, this tree provides excellent shade and attracts wildlife, including squirrels drawn to its acorns.
This deciduous tree features a dense, rounded form that integrates seamlessly into natural settings. While the fruit can be messy, occasional clean-up is a small price to pay for its beauty and durability. Swamp White Oak is a slow-growing yet rewarding choice for those looking to add a long-lasting, shade-providing tree to their landscape.
Our trees are sold by height (younger trees) or by caliper (more mature trees), ensuring you find the perfect size for your landscape needs. This tree is available by trunk caliper, at 2 in. size, for a more mature, developed option.
Each plant comes with the roots balled & burlapped. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
