This is an outstanding native oak for landscape use due to its habit and finer leaf texture. Trees are pyramidal when young maturing to an oblong rounded crown. The dark green leaves resemble large willow leaves. They have a glabrous underside growing 2"-5" long and up to 1" wide. The fall color is yellow, bronze-orange, or yellow-brown.

Willow oak is a versatile tree for dry or wet soils. Excellent landscape tree and street tree.

Acorns are eaten by woodpeckers, wild turkey, other birds, as well as small and large mammals. Male catkins produce pollen. The trees provide nest sites for birds and pollen for pollinators.
