Willow Oak
Quercus phellos
A lovely oak species with oblong, spear-shaped leaves. This stately shade tree will reach 40-60′ tall and 35′ wide, and can tolerate poorly draining soil, but does prefer acidity. Plant in full sun & provide room to grow. In fall, sports shades of yellow & bronze. Willow oak acorns are a top food source for deer, squirrels, turkeys, quail and some songbirds.
