Oak trees prefer full sun and well-drained soil.It's also appropriate to lay 2 to 3 inches of mulch around the base of each oak tree to keep the soil from drying out and prevent weeds from growing.It's best to space them at least 6 feet from the base of each oak tree, to give the oaks breathing room.When planting other plants around oak trees, you should select only drought-tolerant plants that don't require summer watering.
