Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Chestnut oak grows best in a rich, moist, well-drained soil, however, it will tolerate a poor, drier soil.

Do not prune Oaks during the growing season. Oaks are highly susceptible to Oak Wilt, which is spread by a sap beetle that is attracted to fresh wounds. Prune oaks only during the dormant season in winter after the leaves have fallen. Oak Wilt can kill a mature Oak within one season.
