Sun Breaker® Swamp White Oak
Sun Breaker ® White Oak can be relied upon for dark lustrous foliage and a full and balanced crown. Unlike many Swamp White Oaks, Sun BreakerÆ drops its foliage clean in the winter to best show-off the textured and colorful bark. Gone are the days when Quercus bicolor was considered a cheap substitute for everyone's favorite, Quercus alba. While Q. alba has evaded domestication in the landscape trade, Q. bicolor has proven to be easier to transplant and adaptable to a wide range of demanding sites. We believe Sun Breaker® to be the vanguard of a new era for this species.
