Willow oak, Quercus phellos, comes from the common Oak tree. These trees are commonly found alongside streams and waterways. When the fall season comes around the leaves turn a golden brown color before falling to the floor. The shape and the color of these leaves create a very naturalistic feel within a aquarium/terrarium.
Willow Oak can also be used in aquariums. With this natural product, Tannins will be released into your water. We recommend pre-soaking the leaves before introducing them into your aquarium and to add them in slowly to not change the pH levels drastically. These leaves breakdown slower than Indian almond.
