The willow oak is a fast-growing tree native to the Southeastern and mid-Atlantic United States. It is known for its graceful, narrow, willow-like leaves that turn vibrant shades of yellow, red, and bronze-orange in fall. Willow oak has a medium to fast growth rate, typically adding 1 to 2 feet per year. The tree produces separate male and female flowers, with male flowers forming yellowish catkins and female flowers developing into small acorns that provide an important food source for wildlife. Well adapted to challenging sites, willow oak thrives in poorly drained soils while offering beauty, shade, and ecological value.
