Description:
The Willow Oak is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to the south-central and eastern United States, known for its willow-like leaves and fast growth. It typically reaches heights of 65 to 100 feet with a trunk diameter of 3 to 5 feet. The tree produces small acorns, which begin to appear when the tree is about 15 years old, and are a food source for wildlife. Its leaves are bright green on top and paler underneath, turning a bright yellow-brown in autumn. The Willow Oak thrives in medium to moist, well-drained soils and is tolerant of a wide range of soil types, including those with poor drainage. It is commonly found in lowland floodplains and uplands and is popular as an ornamental tree in urban settings. The tree is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9 and is fairly drought-tolerant once established.
