Quercus bicolor, commonly known as the Swamp White Oak or Bicolor Oak, is a large and deciduous tree with lovely, colourful foliage. The Swamp White Oak typically grows to 20 m tall and 15 m wide with a rounded, open growth habit. The foliage emerges light green in spring, ages to dark green, then develops impressive red-orange tones in autumn before falling. Small, yellow-green flowers in spring produce brown acorns in autumn. Quercus bicolor is commonly grown as a specimen in large gardens and parks where it will provide wonderful summer shade and fabulous autumn colours. It is also well suited to planting alongside water features.
