#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant your Oak in a sun-drenched, well-drained location with regular water access, especially when young. Deep waterings create deep roots that handle drought better than other trees and a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch helps keep your tree stress-free! Prune if needed in the late winter.
