Wynstar Willow Oak is a fast-growing native deciduous tree with a dense uniform structure that is broadly pyramidal when young. Its rich dark green willow-like foliage emerges burgundy red and orange in fall. The round acorns are an important source of food for wildlife. Best grown in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Tolerates wet soils. Wynstar is resistant to spider mite damage.
