30' spacing makes sense to me,but I personally will plant nothing with more than about 25',its a numbers game and Ive only got so many numbers left.

FYI
About the Swamp White Oak:
About the Swamp White Oak: I’m including this Oak in my hybrid selection this year, even though it appears to be a pure species, because I have had seedlings develop acorns routinely within 5 years from this tree! The original tree is from the University of Cornell’s arboretum, known for its abundant crops of acorns and voted “Urban Tree of the Year”. Air root pruning the seedlings along with nitrogen deprivation during the seedling phase will help this Swamp White Oak come out of its juvenile stage early. Expect acorns within 5-9 years. You can plant this tree in wet or upland soils, making it one of our most versatile selections.

Good info here on SWO. I will be planting 200 seedlings this coming spring. Hoping to get acorns in a short amount of time 7-8 yrs would be ideal.
