Quercus phellos
Widely used as a shade tree, in parks, and to line
streets and boulevards, the fast-growing Willow Oak
can reach over 70 feet in height with more than a 40
to 50 foot spread. The pyramidal shape in
youth gives way to a rounded canopy in middle and
old age, with lower branches drooping toward the
ground. The long, light green willow-like leaves
create dense shade and a graceful effect turning bright
yellow before they fall. The tree is easy to transplant
but reportedly transplants poorly in the fall.
