Water Oak is a Cape Garden favourite and an attractive, medium-sized deciduous tree that's fast-growing, ensuring you'll be rewarded with a magnificent specimen in just a few years. This versatile oak does extremely well in urban areas and is often planted along avenues for its uniform shape and reliable performance in challenging city conditions. The Water Oak tolerates clay soil and provides excellent autumn color displays, making it perfect for larger gardens, parks, and commercial landscapes where seasonal interest is desired.
Plant in full sun with generous room for its canopy to spread. Water deeply while establishing and during proplonged dry summers. Mulch around the base, keeping the trunk clear.
