Looking for a medium-sized, easy-to-grow tree that will attract wildlife to your yard? Consider the Quercus bicolor Swamp White Oak. Native to America's north central and northeastern mixed forests, this tree is a common element with a variety of habitats. Although it forms hybrids with bur oak where they occur together in the wild, the Swamp White Oak is an excellent lumber producer, making it a popular choice for landscaping. Its bark closely resembles that of the White Oak, and its broad ovoid leaves are shallowly lobed with five to seven lobes on each side, ideal for attracting wildlife when the acorns drop in autumn. This beautiful tree is even being planted in the newly constructed September 11 Memorial Plaza in Manhattan, proving its resilience and beauty.
