3 Bare Root Swamp White Oak Trees Quercus bicolor 12in Live Plant
Swamp White Oak, Quercus bicolor, is a sturdy North American shade tree valued for its rounded crown, glossy lobed foliage, and adaptability to wet or low-lying soils. Its leaves turn shades of yellow, bronze, and russet in autumn, and the tree develops a strong, long-lived structure that makes it a fine choice for spacious yards, park edges, and naturalized plantings.
This oak works well as a primary shade tree, a wildlife-friendly landscape addition, or part of a native tree grouping. It grows at a moderate rate, prefers consistent moisture, and tolerates periodic flooding better than many oaks. The bare root form allows for economical planting during dormancy and encourages rapid establishment when planted promptly.
