Growing Tips & Maintenance
- Easily grown in an average to medium, well-drained soil, in full sun. It primarily grows in dry, rocky soils in the wild, but thrives in a moist, fertile loam in cultivation with relatively good drought tolerance. May take up to 30 years for this tree to bear its first crop of acorns, but from then on, it is fairly reliable to produce a good crop every year.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.
Note
Additional Notes
- Native to OntarioLarval and foliar host for hundreds of species of insects! Chinkapin Oak acorns are sweeter than Red Oak acorns, so a preferred food for wild turkeys, jays, wild ducks, grouse, raccoons, and of course, squirrels and chipmunks. When desperate, deer and rabbits will browse the young twigs while porcupines and beaver may consume the bark.
