Widely used as a shade tree and for avenue plantings， the fast-growing willow oak can reach over 60 ft. H with more than a 30 ft. to 40 ft. 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. It thrives in moist， well-drained， acidic soil and full sun. The willow oak will tolerate pollution and drought and is considered a trouble-free tree as long as soil pH is acidic. Willow oak has a fibrous root system and is therefore easy to transplant.
