Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the seedling upright, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk. Water deeply once a week during the first growing season, especially during dry spells. Once established, Scarlet Oak is relatively drought-tolerant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinimal pruning is needed; remove only dead or crossing branches in late winter.
