Stiff brances create a broad, pyramid to rounded crown and dark green leaves become golden with orange and red in fall. Bark sheds in ragged, papery flakes aging to a thicker, dark gray brown. Great winter interest. Swamp White Oak will tolerate both wet or dry conditions. Not recommend in areas with extremely high PH. This tree has performed very well in the Boulder, Colorado area.
Hardy to -30°F
Maximum Elevation: 7,000 ft.
