Swamp White Oak in central Indiana
Swamp white oak is the oak that actually works on a new central Indiana subdivision lot — it tolerates heavy compacted clay and the high water table left where topsoil was stripped, conditions that suffocate most large shade trees. It is the standard pin oak substitute, planted for exactly that reason, and was named Urban Tree of the Year in 1998.
Large tree · $400–$1,900 typical
