There are many things that homeowners should do when caring for their oak trees. The most important is to know the tree’s exact water, light and nutrient requirements.
Oak trees require full sun and plenty of room to grow and they are typically able to adapt to most soils.
For young oaks, mulching will feed the soil allowing it to adequately feed the tree. The natural grade around the tree should be properly maintained. This is critical if you wish to preserve the tree’s delicate root system.
When adding nearby plants, it is important to consider their compatibility with your oak tree. Be sure to choose plants that have similar water requirements.
