Swamp White Oak

Swamp white oak is a very hardy fast-growing oak species well suited wetter soils. It is also tolerant of dry soils and a variety of soil types, making it extremely adaptable. The form is more upright than the white oak, though becomes more rounded with age.

(Quercus spp.) Oaks are coming, oaks are here! We love planting oaks. Long lived, hardy, self-fertile. Oaks are a TREMENDOUS resource for all sorts of wildlife, insects, birds, and mammals. Oaks are adaptable and long lived but will perform best in reasonably well drained soil. Many oaks thrive in Central Vermont. White oak types (including bur) are less common, migrate more slowly and are preferred by wildlife. Plan for a very big tree!
