Care & maintenance

Willow Oaks are relatively low-maintenance once established. Provide regular watering during its first few growing seasons to encourage deep root development. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches, and to shape the canopy as desired. Fertilize annually with a balanced tree food to promote vigorous growth.
