#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant where it will receive full sun. Heritage Oak requires at least six hours of sunlight to thrive.

Although adaptable to many soil types, they must drain well. Although Oaks typically prefer slightly acidic soil, Heritage is a good choice for soils that have slightly more elevated pH soils.

Keep them happy with a three-inch layer of pine bark or pine straw mulch over the root system. Pull mulch back from the trunk at least six inches. Provide an annual fertilizer designed for acid-loving trees, following directions on the label.

Your tree will need supplemental water for best results. Give it a careful schedule of water during the first year, and thereafter during dry weather.

Prune any broken branches in late winter. Don't start without a judicious pruning plan, as you'd hate to disrupt their excellent form.
