CelebriTree Program (2024)
Swamp White Oak (1)
chêne bicolore
Quercus bicolor
This tree wasn’t thought to be native to this region until a few very mature trees were found not far from Ottawa. They can grow to an impressive size, with long coarse branches extending out from wide trunks. Like other oaks, this species is important to the ecology due to features that feed or shelter a lot of wildlife. Swamp White Oak can be identified by its leaves, dark green above and light-coloured underneath. The tree grows to about 20 metres tall. This tree is located about 90 metres north of the North Lookout parking area, near the old windbreak of conifers.
Celebrating Lung-Fa Ku
I would like to celebrate my father, Mr. Lung-Fa Ku. He loved nature, and our whole family has happy memories of coming to the Arboretum and enjoying nature with him.
