At Triangle Nursery, Inc., we are proud to offer the Willow Oak (Quercus Phellos) - a fast-growing, adaptable, and striking shade tree ideal for commercial landscapes, residential developments, and streetscape projects.

Whether you’re sourcing for large-scale projects, municipal plantings, or premium residential developments, Willow Oak combines performance, beauty, and dependability year-round.
Proven Performer for Landscapers
The Willow Oak is valued for its upright, vase-shaped form when young, which broadens into a full, spreading canopy at its maturity. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves provide a distinctive texture reminiscent of Willows, offering a soft, elegant silhouette in streetscapes and open lawns.
This tree is a professional favorite due to its rapid growth rate, exceptional adaptability to a variety of soils, and reliable performance of urban and suburban landscapes. Its shade canopy and tolerance to heat, humidity, and moderate drought make it an excellent choice for high-traffic or high-visibility projects.
