ENTS-

Here is a photo of a nice willow oak, 72' tall and 11'6'' CBH, taken in a
park in Bay Village less than 100 yards from the shore of Lake Erie. Willow
oaks do fine here in N Ohio, but are seldom used. The tree to the left is a
97' pin oak, somewhat greater in circumference (on private land, so did not
measure).

Steve,

Willow Oaks can get pretty big. I know of one that is over 16ft cbh
and another that is over 15ft cbh. They are fairly common here in the
NC mountains but seem more numerous in Upstate SC.

ENTS-

Sorry it took several posts to show this photo, of a southern oak looking
happy in the north. As a general question, do you feel it is it easier for a
southern tree to adapt to more northern(colder) climates, or easier for a
northern tree to adapt to the south? I think most laymen would presume a
milder climate is easier for a plant to adapt to, but I think each situation
is equally exclusive.
