About this species
Swamp white oak is a hardy native tree well adapted to wet, low-lying environments, making it an important species in Ohio’s floodplains and streamside habitats. It features large, leathery leaves with wavy edges and a distinctive two-toned appearance—dark green on top and pale, almost whitish beneath. The tree develops a broad crown and sturdy limbs, contributing to its value as a long-lived shade tree. Its acorns, borne on long stalks, provide a reliable food source for wildlife such as deer, squirrels, and various bird species. With its tolerance for heavy soils, seasonal flooding, and urban conditions, swamp white oak is a versatile and ecologically valuable choice for both natural areas and managed landscapes.
