An individual instance of Quercus bicolor (swamp white oak)
Permanent unique identifier for this particular organism:
http://bioimages.vanderbilt.edu/vanderbilt/12-11
Notes:
This tree is located along the east side of 21st Ave. S. across from the entrance to the East Garage.
Although swamp white oak leaves are similar to swamp chestnut oak leaves, notice that the lobes/teeth of swamp white oak leaves tend to become less noticeable as you approach the base of the leaf. There are usually fewer than 8 pairs of veins extending to the teeth. Swamp white oak acorns have very long stalks (although this tree has not been observed to produce acorns).
Swamp white oak is normally found in wetland areas and isn't typically planted. However, a row of them has been planted along this side of 21st Ave. This individual is in the best shape -- many of the others have been mutilated by the power company.
