Comments: A member of the white oak group, Swamp White Oak is a native tree with a rounded habit, lustrous green leaves.
It has attractive, flaky, brown bark that is prominent even on its
branches. As its common name implies, it tolerates wet or swampy soils. The
fall color varies, and when red is a great contrast to its summer bi-colored leaves, which face green on the top, and whitish on the underside. Check out more trees from the
