Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: For the best growth and strongest wood, give your Streetspire® Oak at least 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. While it can handle a bit of afternoon shade, full sun ensures that signature narrow, upright shape stays dense and tight.
  • Soil: This oak is a champion in heavy clay or urban soils, but it thrives best in well drained loam. If you are dealing with sandy soil, mix in some organic compost at planting to help the roots hold onto moisture while the tree settles in.

Watering Requirements

During the first two growing seasons, water your tree deeply twice a week to ensure the root ball never completely dries out. Once established, this variety is quite drought tolerant, though a long dry spell can cause the leaves to brown at the edges or drop early in the fall. Consistent moisture during the heat of summer ensures the foliage stays a vibrant dark green until the autumn color shift.

Pruning Tips

Because this tree naturally grows in a narrow "columnar" shape, it requires very little pruning to maintain its form. If you need to remove a stray or damaged branch, do so in late winter while the tree is dormant to prevent sap bleeding and reduce the risk of pests. Think of this like a light trim rather than a haircut; you are simply removing the "fuzz" to keep the silhouette clean and the structure strong.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as the leaf buds begin to swell to fuel the seasons new growth. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer or fall, as this encourages tender new growth that won't have time to harden off before the first freeze. This soft growth is easily damaged by winter temperatures and can invite disease into the main trunk.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant Oak Trees in full sun with at least six hours of light a day. Provide an even schedule of supplemental water to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free. Provide regular deep waterings to establish a deep root system, making established trees drought tolerant. We highly recommend that you add a three-inch layer of mulch and spread it out to several feet past the canopy; pulling it back from touching the trunk. Prune your Oak in late winter to remove broken or wayward branches. Luckily, Streetspire® Oak features great genetics and should rarely need much corrective action.
