Quercus phellos / Willow Oak

Willow Oak is a fast-growing native tree, reaching 40 to 70 feet in height with a spread of 30 to 40 feet. Its slender, willow-like leaves turn golden yellow in fall, adding seasonal beauty. Willow Oak thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is adaptable to clay, loam, and sandy soils. While it prefers full sun, it can tolerate partial shade. This tree is ideal for areas near water and is drought-tolerant once established. Willow Oak makes a great choice for restoration projects, urban landscapes, and wildlife-friendly gardens, offering fast growth and attractive foliage.
