Swamp White Oak – Quercus bicolor - Our Ohio native oak that has the greatest potential for early acorn production.  And the good news is that the name is quite misleading.  Swamp White Oak grows well on upland sites. They prefer an acid soil and full sun, and for a tree with “swamp” in their common name, they are surprisingly drought tolerant. This hardy native oak grows 50-60 feet in height. They will thrive when planted along streams & rivers; they are an excellent choice for wetland plantings. Its fall color is yellow bronze. A great choice for attracting wildlife.
