Quercus bicolor
The Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor) is a large, deciduous tree native to North America, commonly found in wetland areas, floodplains, and along riverbanks. Growing 50-60 feet tall with a wide, rounded canopy, this oak features distinctive two-toned leaves—dark green on top and silvery-white underneath. In fall, the leaves turn golden yellow to brown, providing seasonal interest. The Swamp White Oak produces acorns that are an important food source for wildlife. Known for its adaptability to moist soils and its durable, attractive wood, it is often used in landscaping for its shade, beauty, and environmental benefits.
