Editing Quercus bicolor (section)

== Uses ==
It is one of the more important white oaks for [[lumber]] production. The wood is similar to that of ''[[Q. alba]]'' and is not differentiated from it in the lumber trade. In recent years, the swamp white oak has become a popular [[Ornamental plant|landscaping tree]] due to its relative ease of transplanting. This is the species that was chosen to be planted around the [[National September 11 Memorial & Museum|911 Memorial Site in Manhattan]].

Being in the white oak group, wildlife such as deer, bears, turkeys, ducks, and geese as well as other animals are attracted to this tree when acorns are dropping in the fall.
