FAQ's for Buying Oak Trees Online

What are the best types of Oak trees for residential landscaping?

Some of the best Oak trees for home landscapes include the Overcup Oak, White Oak, and Regal Prince® Oak. These selections offer a combination of manageable size, strong structure, beautiful fall foliage, and adaptability to a range of soil and climate conditions. For smaller yards, columnar types like Regal Prince® provide vertical elegance without wide spreading branches.

How fast do Oak trees grow compared to other shade trees?

While Oak trees are often thought to be slow growers, many varieties such as the Nuttall Oak and Sawtooth Oak grow at a moderate to fast rate with proper care. These trees can add one to two feet of growth per year, especially when planted in well-drained soil with full sun and a consistent watering routine during establishment.

Which Oak trees are best for attracting wildlife and providing acorns?

Oaks are keystone species that support hundreds of wildlife species. For reliable mast production, the White Oak, Sawtooth Oak, and Willow Oak are excellent choices. These trees produce acorns that feed birds, deer, turkey, and squirrels. The Sawtooth Oak is especially valued for dropping acorns early in the season, making it ideal for food plots and habitat enhancement.

When is the best time to plant an Oak tree?

The best time to plant an Oak tree is in spring or fall when the weather is mild and the soil is workable. However, you can plant year-round as long as the ground is not frozen. Nature Hills Nursery ships trees at the optimal planting time for your USDA zone, ensuring your tree gets off to the best possible start.

How do I care for a newly planted Oak tree?

Caring for a young Oak tree includes watering deeply and regularly during the first growing season, using mulch to retain moisture, and avoiding fertilizers until the tree is established. Prune during dormancy in late winter to shape the canopy and remove weak branches. Once established, Oaks become low-maintenance trees with high resistance to drought and wind.
