A tree occurring naturally in North America on moist but well-drained soils. In warm climates semi-deciduous to evergreen, in cold climates mostly deciduous. In the wild it attains a height of 30 m but when cultivated only reaches 15 to 20 m. The smooth dark grey bark becomes rough in older specimens and flakes off in small platelets. Young olive-green shoots are covered with downy hair but quickly become bare and brownish-green. The leaves are narrow lanceolate to sometimes linear and closely resemble those of the willow. They are 5 - 15 cm long and 1 - 1.5 cm wide. On the upper side dark green, the underside bluish-green. The smooth leaf edge is slightly undulating. The autumn colour is light yellow in regions where the leaves fall in the winter. The acorns are at the most one-third enclosed in the cupule.

Quercus phellos can eventually reach a height of 15 - 20 (30) m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Quercus phellos is среднерастущий and can eventually reach a height of 15 - 20 (30) m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The right time to plant Quercus phellos is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Quercus phellos with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
