Learn About Your New Quercus palustris - Pin Oak
Quercus palustris (Pin Oak) looks excellent as a striking, pyramidal feature tree that adds strong architectural form and vibrant seasonal colour to gardens and landscapes. Its deeply lobed, glossy green foliage turns brilliant red and russet in autumn, creating eye-catching contrast and dynamic visual interest.
Growing to 9–15 metres in height and width, Pin Oak is well-suited for avenue planting, parklands, and large residential gardens where shade and structure are key. Its dense canopy with a dominant central leader and spreading lower branches offers excellent shelter and shade.
Pin Oak performs reliably in urban settings, tolerating pollution, compacted soils, and a wide range of soil types, including clay and acidic soils. It requires minimal maintenance, with occasional pruning to maintain shape and deep watering during dry periods.
This tree looks excellent when paired with underplantings of shade-tolerant perennials or spring bulbs, which can enhance its seasonal appeal. It is an outstanding choice for functional and ornamental use, including erosion control and damp-site revegetation, providing lasting beauty and resilience in varied landscape applications.

Post Planting Care
When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:
- Immediately After Planting:
Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil. - First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth. - Irrigation Systems:
If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering. - Weather Considerations:
Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons. - Ongoing Care:
After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.
