How to Plant Pin Oak (Quercus palustris):

Select an Ideal Location: Choose a suitable site with well-draining soil and full sun exposure. Ensure there's ample space for the tree's mature size.

Backfill and Water: Fill the hole with soil and water the tree thoroughly to settle the soil and remove air pockets.
Mulch: Apply mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
