Swamp Oak | Field Grown

Like its counterpart, the White Oak, the Swamp White Oak yields sweet, edible kernels enjoyed by both humans and wildlife. With a lifespan surpassing 300 years, it furnishes top-tier wood highly valued in furniture making and construction. Its epithet, "bicolor," denotes the contrast in its foliage—lush and dark green on the upper side, and adorned with a white, fuzzy underside.
