Willow Oak — 15 Gallon
(Quercus phellos)
Tree Description
The Willow Oak is a beautiful, fast-growing shade tree known for its fine-textured foliage and strong, symmetrical canopy. Unlike most oaks, it features slender willow-like leaves that give the tree a softer, more refined appearance in the landscape.
This tree develops a broad, rounded canopy that provides excellent shade, making it a popular choice for lawns, parks, and street plantings. In fall, the foliage turns golden yellow to bronze, adding seasonal color before dropping for winter.
These 15-gallon trees establish quickly and grow vigorously, making them a great choice for homeowners looking to plant a durable, long-lived oak that will become a beautiful shade tree for generations.
