The Swamp White Oak is a stately Oak tree for your low lying or wetter areas. This oak tree displays a dense oval shape in youth that matures into more of a symmetrical round shape. Its leaves are whitish on the underside and green on the top sides. Branches reach in an upward fashion during its youth and middle age but the canopy becomes more rounded as the tree matures. In autumn, the leaves turn a brown color but keep the whitish color underneath. The wood is indistinguishable from White Oak and is used for the same purposes. The Swamp White Oak produces acorns that wildlife enjoy.
