The Swamp Chestnut Oak (Quercus michauxii) is a stately native white oak prized for its massive, low-tannin acorns, refined form, and long-term value to deer and wildlife. This medium to large shade tree features dark green, chestnut-like leaves that turn a brilliant yellow in fall, paired with attractive scaly bark that adds year-round character to large landscapes, farms, and habitat plantings.

Renowned for producing very large acorns (1–1¼ inches long) that are low in tannins, Swamp Chestnut Oak is a top-tier mast tree—highly sought after by deer, turkey, squirrels, and birds. It thrives in richer, fertile soils and is naturally adapted across much of the eastern U.S., extending south into north Florida and west to east Texas. Though it begins acorn production later than some oaks (~20–25 years), its acorn size, palatability, and consistency make it a cornerstone species for long-term wildlife management and legacy landscapes.

Cold hardy in USDA Zones 6–9, disease-resistant, and long-lived, the Swamp Chestnut Oak is an exceptional choice for land stewards seeking a native, high-quality white oak that delivers beauty, shade, and unmatched wildlife nutrition for generations.
