Our swamp white oaks seedlings are a great choice if you’re looking for an attractive tree to grow nice and tall and are known to be a great shade tree.
This is also considered to be a great option for a generational tree as they are expected to live 300 years or more. This tree grows acorns that are attractive to birds, and in the fall the leaves turn beautiful fall colors like bronze, yellow, and reddish-purple. The trunk diameter is 2 to 3 feet, and the leaves usually grow from 5 to 7 inches long with shallow lobes that are rounded. When this tree is in the early stages of growth, the bark usually has a flaky, peeling bark with an orange-colored inner bark. Once the tree matures, the bark is a dark grayish-brown.
The swamp white oak is more tolerant of poor drainage than other oaks and is one of the easiest oaks to transplant.
They are also tolerant of salt, drought, and heat. This tree is considered to be very durable, making it a great option for carpentry such as flooring and furniture.
