 Re: Oak Tree
Species?
Location?
Soil type?
A lot of water is a relative term. Most oaks like the occasional "drink" but don't tolerate wet feet.
A few oaks ( "swamp oaks") tolerate wet or poorly drained soils, but these trees are typically short lived, weak wooded or both.
Good drainage and high quality of soil combined with deep watering with drying between waterings and regular, slow release (organic) fertilizer can make any oak tree grow much faster than a tree in the forest.
But as a rule, too much water causes all kinds of problems for oaks. |
