Quercus phellos
The Willow Oak (Quercus phellos) is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to the southeastern United States, known for its narrow, willow-like leaves that are bright green in summer and turn yellow in the fall. Typically growing 50-75 feet tall with a rounded, open crown, the Willow Oak is well-suited to wet, poorly drained soils but can also tolerate drier conditions. It produces small acorns that provide food for wildlife. This fast-growing oak is often used in urban landscapes and parks for its elegant form, shade, and relatively low maintenance, as well as its adaptability to a variety of environments.
