Care
Southern Red Oak seedlings thrive in well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering, especially during dry spells. In spring, fertilize with a proportional fertilizer. Mulch near the bottom to retain moisture and lessen weeds. Protect from pests and harsh conditions.
Plant Reproduction
Southern Red Oak seedlings spread by wind-dispersed acorns and natural regeneration
Plant seedlings in early spring or fall when temperatures are mild. Choose a well-drained site with the proper sunlight for the tree species. Dig a hole that's deep and wide enough to support but not hamper the root system without bending or crowding the roots. Place the seedling in the hole, ensuring the root collar (where the roots meet the stem) is level with or slightly above the soil surface. Fill the hole with soil, and pack it around the roots to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the moisture consistent, especially during the first few years, to help the roots establish. Put a 2-4 inch layer of mulch around the base, but keep it away from the trunk to retain moisture and prevent weed growth. Protect the seedlings from pests and physical damage with suitable guards or fencing. Tree seedlings will thrive and grow into strong, healthy trees with proper care.
