Quercus biocolour, or swamp white oak is a durable, long-lived tree that thrives in moderate to wet, acidic soils and full sun. Its Native range extends across eastern and central North America, from southwestern Maine to southern Quebec and Ontario, and south to Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and New Jersey. It has surprisingly good drought resistance and is one of the easiest oaks to transplant. This tree is ideal for wet ground and low spots, making it a good choice for areas prone to moisture (but not flooding). This species may experience chlorosis in alkaline soils but is tolerant of salt and heat stress. Pruning in the dormant season helps prevent attracting beetles that could carry oak wilt. Quercus bicolor drops large acorns and a considerable number of leaves, with the heaviest shedding in the fall. It is considered moderately messy due to the acorn litter and abundant leaf drop that requires regular cleanup
