Siting This Tree

It is a riparian so it can handle wet areas. We’ve used this tree in all soil types and moisture levels but we tend to put it in wetter areas and avoid very dry sands. If it has to go in a truly dry site please expand the mulch area and keep it mulched forever. Put this tree far enough from structures to allow for horizontal branches that can reach lengths of twenty five feet. 

Considerations

One other characteristic to be aware of is the acorn production which can be quite heavy so avoid patio areas and keep it to the edges of the property. If you have deer and squirrels you will have to be quick to find a whole acorn on the ground, but you will find plenty of acorn pieces!
