Buy Swamp Chestnut Oak Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Swamp Chestnut Oak, botanically known as Quercus michauxii, is a large native oak valued for its shade and wildlife food.

Swamp Chestnut Oak grows naturally in North Florida lowlands and floodplains. Its large acorns are eaten by deer, squirrels, and other wildlife, making it a strong choice for a large property or habitat planting. Despite its name, this tree should be planted where the soil can drain between wet periods, rather than in a spot that stays flooded continuously.

Plant Details:

  • Plant Type: Native deciduous shade tree
  • Botanical Name: Quercus michauxii
  • Common Names: Swamp Chestnut Oak, Cow Oak, Basket Oak
  • Mature Size: Approximately 60–80 feet tall; allow ample room for the canopy
  • Sunlight: Full sun to partial sun
  • USDA Zones: 5–9
  • Flowers: Small spring flowers
  • Acorns: Large acorns valued by deer, squirrels, and other wildlife
  • Acorn Season: Fall; production varies from year to year
  • Pollination: Wind-pollinated. Nearby oaks of the same species may support acorn production.
  • Soil/Water: Best in moist, reasonably well-drained soil. Tolerates periodic wet conditions but is not suited to continuous deep flooding.
  • Landscape Uses: Native landscapes, wildlife habitat, large shade plantings, and restoration of suitable lowland sites
  • Maintenance: Water regularly while establishing and allow plenty of space from buildings and overhead lines.

North Florida Growing Note: Swamp Chestnut Oak is native to Northwest Florida and is a useful choice for moist sites where a large oak has room to mature. It is a different species from Chestnut Oak (Quercus montana) and Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor).
