Choose a site with full sun and well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots spread out, and plant at the same depth as it grew in the nursery. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged until established.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, bur oak requires minimal care. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.
