The Swamp Chestnut Oak (Quercus michauxii) or Cow Oak is a large, deciduous tree native to the southeastern United States, commonly found in wetland areas and floodplains. Growing 60-80 feet tall with a broad, rounded canopy, it features large, lobed leaves that are dark green in summer and turn yellow or brown in the fall. The tree produces sweet-tasting acorns that are favored by wildlife. The Swamp Chestnut Oak thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is known for its strong, durable wood, which is used in furniture, flooring, and construction. Its adaptability to wet conditions and its aesthetic appeal make it a valuable species in landscaping and conservation projects.
