When you imagine an oak tree chances are you’re thinking of an English Oak. The dark green foliage and classic oak-leaf shape immediately come to mind. With its majestic stature, the English Oak is an excellent specimen tree for any home landscape.
While it prefers deep, well-drained soils, English Oak is adaptable to a wide range of soil types and conditions. Remarkably, it can handle higher pH levels, such as those found across Wyoming. Considered to be a low-maintenance tree. Extremely drought tolerant once established.
Throughout this site, the following are used as guidelines for watering established plants:
These truly xeric plants can live with our 12 inches of natural annual precipitation and only need a winter watering during a multi-year drought, but they will thrive with a monthly watering. Overwatering will kill some of these. These plants are adapted to intermittent deep
watering with soil drying to a depth of a few inches between waterings. Watering frequency may be every couple of weeks during the active growing season and maybe only one winter watering for optimal care. These plants need regular watering somewhat like a bluegrass lawn so that
they never dry to depth in the root system during the active growing season, and need occasional winter watering to prevent root dessication and resultant plant
death. About sizes of our plants:
Sizes indicated with a # are roughly the equivalent in gallonage; so a #2 is about a 2 gallon pot size; b&b stands for balled and burlapped.
