Planting and Application:
With wide crotch angles, Sweetspire Oak easily rides through fierce winds and resists storm damage. You'll also love how the leaves fall cleanly from the tree late in the season for easy cleanup.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Achieve the best performance in a well-drained planting site with rich soil. 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.
- Plant Streetspire Oak 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.
- Get expert advice from planting to watering from the NatureHills.com Horticulture team. You'll feel proud of your choice to work with NatureHills.com on professional-grade landscape materials.
- In early spring, prune to correct shape if needed. Luckily, Streetspire Oak features great genetics and should rarely need much corrective action.
