Willow oakWillow oak
Scientific name: Quercus phellos Family: Fagaceae Willow oak has slender twigs, small oval leaves with a bristle-tip, and small acorns. It is a member of the red oak group, which always has bristle tips on the ends of the leaves. This tree can potentially be confused with Shingle oak, Quercus imbricaria. Shingle oak has slightly larger leaves and is a rare species in southern New Jersey. The bristle tip and smooth margins (sides of the leaves) distinguish willow oak from true willows. |
