Swamp White Oak

The native Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor), similar to the Burr Oak and native, grows almost anywhere. High and dry or along lower wetland edges and floodplains that hold water in the spring and can produce acorns within 4-5 years, making it one of the fastest-producing oak trees. The Swamp White Oak has the same low tannin, good-tasting acorns with the “fuzzy” or “mossy” cap, and will also thrive in better soil conditions to add variety to your wildlife plantings or restoration projects. This tree hybridizes with other white oaks, which allows it to grow quickly and begin feeding and attracting whitetail, turkeys, and other wildlife to your property. The Swamp White Oak has a very long life span of 300 years. A key feature of Swamp White Oak trees from Bluehill Wildlife Nursery is that they will be 3-4 years old when you pick them up, or they arrive at your door. Only a couple of years away from producing acorns! If you’re looking for a quick producing oak tree that drops highly attractive good tasting acorns within 4-5 years old and will not only survive but thrive in wet planting conditions, the Swamp White Oak is another great tree to improve your property and ability to attract and hold whitetails and big bucks in those wetland areas or any area of your property with its acorns dropping in September and October.
