Willow oak is a deciduous tree in the red oak group of oaks. It is native to eastern North America from southern New York (Long Island) south to northern Florida, and west to southernmost Illinois and eastern Texas.
Pin oak, also called swamp oak, water oak, and swamp Spanish oak, is a fast-growing, moderately large tree.
Pin oak transplants well and is tolerant of the many stresses of the urban environment, so has become a favored tree for streets and landscapes.
