Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball, place the seedling at the same depth it was growing in its container, and backfill with native soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, during the first growing season. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, White Oaks are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Prune only to remove dead or damaged branches, preferably in late winter. These trees grow slowly at first but become long-lived, stately shade trees with proper care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 White Oak tree seedlings (Quercus alba), each approximately 6-12 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776105283894,"sku":"FOLIA-012","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6632497881_nry7.jpg?v=1792467568","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/5-white-oak-tree-seedlings-quercus-alba-6-12-inches-shade-trees","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
