Its two-toned leaves, dark green above and silvery-white beneath, shimmer in the breeze and turn rich shades of yellow, orange, and burgundy in fall. With its rugged, peeling bark and graceful, spreading canopy, this is a tree that grows more beautiful with every passing decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eQuercus bicolor\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swamp White Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50–60 ft with a broad, rounded canopy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–5 ft tall at time of purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e #7 (7-gallon pot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate — typically 1–2 ft per year; faster with consistent moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade; best growth in full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly adaptable; tolerates wet, poorly drained, clay, and compacted soils better than most oaks; also performs well in average garden soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to high; one of the most moisture-tolerant oaks available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low — prune in late winter while dormant; a long-lived, self-sufficient tree once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLandscape Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn exceptional shade and specimen tree for residential and commercial landscapes, especially in areas with wet or compacted soils where other oaks won't thrive.
