#ProPlantTips for Care:Oak Trees do their very best in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade! Oaks can thrive in some of the worst soil types, as long as they are well-drained. These hardy natives are adaptable and tolerate poor, occasional drought and dry soils, clay, rocky, and sandy soil, and these natives even tolerate alkaline conditions! Provide regular moisture their first year and insulate the roots with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch over the soil surface. Prune these plants when they are dormant to further control size and form.
