Quercus bicolor
Common Name: Swamp White Oak
Swamp white oak (Quercus bicolor) has leaves that contrast green upper surfaces with pale, softly hairy undersides. Its broad crown and textured bark give it a strong presence as a long-lived shade tree.
Its structure combines an open canopy and a rounded outline. Growth is moderate. The leaves are shed for winter. Autumn foliage can bring brown, yellow and red tones.
Choose a sunny, open site. Provide acidic, humus-rich, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
