This is yet another oak to add to the “grows just about anywhere” list. Although swamp whites were named for their tolerance to poorly drained sites, they can and will thrive or do better on many other site types. Swamp white is also a good choice for those of you who live up North where it gets too cold for most of the other oaks.
