Willow Oak (Quercus phellos)

 is a fast-growing Florida native shade tree distinguished by its narrow, willow-like leaves and elegant, finely textured canopy. Young trees develop a pyramidal form that broadens into a rounded canopy with age, making Willow Oak an effective choice for parks, campuses, streetscapes, and large residential landscapes where generous shade and a more refined oak silhouette are desired.

Naturally associated with floodplains and hardwood swamp margins, Willow Oak is especially well suited to full-sun sites with moist, acidic to neutral soils, including low-lying areas and landscapes with periodic wetness. Its foliage turns clear yellow in fall before dropping, adding a seasonal display to a durable canopy tree that can mature beyond 70 feet tall.
