Description
Willow oak is a deciduous oak with willow-like leaves. It is an excellent, large shade tree. Its fine texture contrasts with the coarseness of most other red oaks making it one of its best ornamental features. It is one of the best oaks for avenue plantings or large residences. Willow oak is a fast-growing oak that transplants easily and is tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. The leaves appear bright green to yellow and then turn russet in the fall. Its acorn matures in two years. With age, the willow oak becomes a stately tree. It is a superior choice where space permits a large oak tree. It has a medium growth-rate and grows to 40-60 feet tall with a 30-40 foot spread. It is hardy in Zones 5-9.
USDA ZONES: Zone 5, Zone 6, Zone 7, Zone 8, Zone 9

How to Plant
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
