Quercus bicolor | 1-year seedlings, 12–24"
Swamp white oak is a native hardwood commonly used in riparian buffers, bottomland restoration projects, and wildlife habitat plantings. Typically growing 50 to 80 feet tall, it is well adapted to poorly drained soils and seasonally wet conditions. Its acorns provide an important food source for deer, turkey, waterfowl, and other wildlife, while its adaptability and resilience make it a valuable species for conservation and restoration efforts.
