Willow Oak

Often referred to as a “handsome tree,” this member of the mighty oak family comes with a stand-out feature: willow-like leaves. The spear-shaped foliage appears in the spring with a light/bright green color, becomes dark green in the summer, and turns shades of yellow bronze-orange, yellow-brown, and russet-red in the fall.

The willow oak is frequently planted along streets and in parks and golf courses because of its size, striking appearance, and relatively fast growth.
