However winter and early spring is also an excellent time of the year to plant in Florida. Avoid summer planting. If you do plant in late spring or summer supplement with lots of water!

Keep the root ball moist until you are ready to plant. Dig a hole at least twice as wide as the tree’s pot. Place your tree in the hole and make sure it is straight and level. To avoid planting too deeply, be sure the top of the root ball is slightly higher than the existing soil line. Now, backfill the soil around your Florida shade tree and tamp it down gently to remove air pockets. Add a 1 to 2 inch layer of mulch extended at least a few inches past the rootzone. Mulch helps the ground retain moisture, protects roots, and reduces weeds. Water thoroughly until the ground is completely saturated. Water daily for the first week.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHow to Care for Florida Shade Trees?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eShade trees require minimal if any maintenance once they are established. During establishment water your Florida shade tree deeply 1 to 3 times per week to help the roots grow properly. In Florida it is best to keep up this watering schedule through the tree’s first summer as well. Deep waterings help the roots grow deeply and your tree establish faster. This type of watering can also help eliminate surface roots and promote a stronger healthier tree. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWhere to Buy Florida Shade Trees\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBuy Florida shade trees for sale online.

A tree that is long lived and grows to amazing heights, the Willow Oak is a great provider of shade and food for the ecosystem.  Willow Oaks are often planted alongside roads, parks, and in the yards of rural and suburban homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimilar to a Red Oak in almost every way except the foliage, the Willow Oak's leaves are long and thin with no lobes, just like a willow tree. Spring and summer provide dense, green foliage, while the fall gives way to a golden orange display that you won't want to miss! This Oak tree offers a truly colorful front yard or street view for your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Willow Oak Tree prefers full sun and plenty of room to stretch its limbs. Growing to an astounding 60 feet high and 40 feet wide this tree will provide lots of shade during the summer months. The fast growing Willow Oak is adaptable to many conditions and soil types. This hardy and tolerant tree is low maintenance and easy to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for a fast growing tree that will grow to outstanding heights and remain faithful all year round, the Willow Oak is the tree for you. With striking color and superb shade, the Willow Oak is a great addition to your landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow To Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWillow Oak Trees are easy to grow and extremely adaptable. Spring and Fall are ideal times to plant. However, if you avoid freezing and hot temperatures you can plant your Oak tree almost any time of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWillow Oaks thrive in full to part sun and are adaptable to any soil, even tolerating wet areas. These trees are even drought tolerant once established. Water deeply twice weekly for the first 3 months after planting. This helps the roots establish properly. Add a layer of 2 to 3 inches of mulch when planting to help keep the soil moist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not allow the mulch to touch the trunk as this increases the chances of pests and disease. Fertilize in early spring with a basic slow release fertilizer. Willow Oaks don't generally require pruning, but, if needed, prune when they are dormant in winter or early spring to remove any dead, dying, or crowded branches, or to maintain shape. The Willow Oak is pest and disease resistant, as well as pollution and salt tolerant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWillow Oaks only rarely have issues with pests or disease. Occasionally, Scale and Mites can infest these Oaks. You can treat these pests naturally with horticultural oil, neem oil, or insecticidal soap. For severe infections you can use pesticides like carbaryl, also known as Sevin. In extremely humid areas, fungal issues can arise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally, treating after infection isn't extremely effective, so if you have problems yearly treat in early spring with fungicides to prevent infection. Neem Oil is an organic method of treating some fungal diseases and pests. It can be effective, but the entire tree must be coated in order for this method to be effective.

Be sure to provide your oak tree with plenty of room to grow.  Reaching heights up to 60 feet and a width of about 40 feet, a full grown Willow Oak is a substantial tree.  This shade tree is ideal to be the main, focal tree in your yard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you have a large yard or piece of land, oaks are great for planting in a row to provide shade in the summer.
