The native Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor), similar to the Burr Oak and native, grows almost anywhere. High and dry or along lower wetland edges and floodplains that hold water in the spring and can produce acorns within 4-5 years, making it one of the fastest-producing oak trees. The Swamp White Oak has the same low tannin, good-tasting acorns with the “fuzzy” or “mossy” cap, and will also thrive in better soil conditions to add variety to your wildlife plantings or restoration projects. This tree hybridizes with other white oaks, which allows it to grow quickly and begin feeding and attracting whitetail, turkeys, and other wildlife to your property. The Swamp White Oak has a very long life span of 300 years.
A key feature of Swamp White Oak trees from Bluehill Wildlife Nursery is that they will be 3-4 years old when you pick them up, or they arrive at your door. Only a couple of years away from producing acorns! If you’re looking for a quick producing oak tree that drops highly attractive good tasting acorns within 4-5 years old and will not only survive but thrive in wet planting conditions, the Swamp White Oak is another great tree to improve your property and ability to attract and hold whitetails and big bucks in those wetland areas or any area of your property with its acorns dropping in September and October.
Key Information: Planting Zones 4-8, Soil pH 4.5-6.5, Mature Height 70′.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SWAMP WHITE OAK
Plant at least two Swamp White oak trees nearby for pollination or another variety of white oak (Quercus family). Burr oak and English oak would both be suitable pollination partners. A minimum of 30′ for tree spacing when planting Oaks. They can grow in various soil types, but I recommend avoiding wet areas. These trees are tolerant of low pH and low fertility, but, as with any tree, when you raise fertility by providing adequate nutrients, they can produce even faster than I stated above. Requires at least 6 hours of full sun.
SHIPPING/PICK UP
Shipping to Plant Hardiness Zones 2-8 can be selected from the calendar at checkout. Oaks can be shipped and picked up in late March through April. Dormant bare-root trees must be planted in the spring, while trees in your area are dormant or beginning to break dormancy. You can select your ship date as you check out on the website. Free local pick up is available the last week in March and the first week in April. You can select your pick-up date when you check out on the website. Please call or message us to make an appointment to pick up your trees if you cannot make the date you selected.
