Once Swamp White gets established (which is easier for this Oak than most others) it will put on incredible amount of growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou might think that Oak trees are slow growing, but that is not true when they are young. The \u003cstrong\u003eSwamp White Oak in particular is a fast grower\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the nursery, it grows as fast as most of our Maples.

For a tree named Swamp White Oak, it has surprisingly good drought tolerance!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have the room, include in mixed plantings. Create your own Oak savannah as a food forest for wildlife. Incorporate several Oaks and then plant the understory with spring flowering bulbs and food producing shrubs, like Glossy Black Chokeberry, American Cranberrybush Viburnum, Chickasaw Plum or American Hazelnut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOaks make fantastic specimen plants\u003c\/strong\u003e, so plant a single tree off to the right or left side of your home to help frame the view. For wide properties, use an odd number in drifting informal groups as a memorable focal point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwamp White Oaks make excellent street trees and can tolerate road salt used in icy climates. However, they can’t handle salt sprayed up from passing cars. Use in neighborhoods where the traffic is slow and will not spray salt, and the plant will grow beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key to success of any urban landscape is to include many different Genus of trees. We’ve learned hard lessons about lining streets with all the same kind of tree. Include different kinds of tree in the mix on your property to protect your investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse in Rain Gardens to help filter runoff water from roofs and streets.

Prune young trees to ensure a single leader and remove crossing branches. Remove lower branches to raise the canopy as desired as it develops into a mature tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwamp White Oak acorns are prized as mast for wildlife. It can take up to 20 years before you may see acorns on many Oak trees. Eventually, it will begin to produce 1 inch long acorns that are held on long stalks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweet acorns are relished by whitetail deer, mallards, wood ducks, wild turkeys, squirrels, and woodpeckers. The acorns mature and are shed in September or October of the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn urban settings, it’s a good idea to plant at least 30 feet from patios and driveways. Why not create a mulched bed underneath to keep things easy for yourself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople often confuse this tree with Bur Oak. Just take a peek up into the canopy to see the difference. Swamp White Oak leaves are rounded with smooth, shallow lobes. There are no bristle tips. Young branches exfoliate to reveal orange inner bark and the trunk is covered with pale, light gray bark that features a unique, ornamental blocky, rectangular pattern. Bur Oak has corky-winged young branches and deeper sinuses on the lowest leaf lobes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly ornamental, the Swamp White Oak is a national treasure tree. \u003cstrong\u003eOrder your healthy, robust tree from Nature Hills today and get started on your own legacy!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore More from Nature Hills\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Swamp White Oak makes an excellent addition to any landscape alongside other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shade-trees\" title=\"Shop Shade Trees at Nature Hills Nursery\"\u003eshade trees\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/native-plants\" title=\"Shop Native Plants at Nature Hills Nursery\"\u003enative plants\u003c\/a\u003e that thrive in similar conditions.
