Swamp White Oak

Swamp White Oak is a medium to large deciduous tree native to eastern and central North America. It is typically found in low-lying, wet areas but can also adapt to other conditions. The tree is known for its broad, rounded crown and attractive peeling bark on young branches and twigs. It produces lobed leaves that have a shiny dark green upper side and a whitish, fuzzy underside. In autumn, the foliage turns to shades of yellow and brown. This oak species is important for wildlife, providing acorns as a food source for various animals.
