I have a two or three year old pin oak seedling on my property. I'd like to move it into the main yard. Any tips on the best way for success?

Give it a wide berth and don’t plant it too deep. If you bare root it just churn up the ground and stick it on top. You want that root flare to show. Temporary staking is OK but if it is small then no worries. Feed it good with coffee grounds (used).

You cannot plant a tree too high. Too low and it won’t last.

In the wild, you see root flare. That is what you should be after.

They say that Pin Oaks and Red Oaks are the easiest to transplant as long as they are under 3 years of age and less than 3 feet tall.

Good How-To, here:
