Swamp White Oak
1 yr old seedling tree, 8-12 inches
This popular landscaping tree is known for its timber and wildlife value. White oak type acorns are low in tannins and require less/no leaching to make them palatable. Aside from leaching, one intriguing method for making acorns palatable is to sprout them in soil! White oaks bear heavy crops of acorns every few years, and lighter crops in the off years. This habit, called 'masting,' allows more seed to survive predation.
