Quercus bicolor
Choose Swamp White Oak if you want a native shade tree for a large yard with soil that swings wet to dry. The tradeoff is simple: it needs room, and it is not the tidy small-lot tree.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A | It becomes a broad, substantial shade tree with a natural native look. |
| Growth Rate | B | It moves along better than many people expect from an oak, but it is still a long-term tree. |
| Maintenance | B | Once established, it is durable, though leaf and acorn cleanup should be expected. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | D | This is the wrong tree for tight yards, narrow strips, or planting close to buildings. |
| Screening Value | C | It casts shade well, but it is not a dense evergreen screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Swamp White Oak for the customer with space, patience, and imperfect soil—not for someone trying to squeeze a shade tree into a small foundation bed.
| Mature Height | 60 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 60 ft |

Yes, that is one of the main reasons to choose it.
It drops leaves and acorns, so avoid placing it over patios or tight walkways.
Only if there is plenty of clearance for the mature canopy and roots.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
