Oak Seedling

Brief Description

The image shows very young oak seedlings emerging from the soil. They typically have 2-4 small, lobed, or toothed leaves in their initial growth stage, distinct from the more complex leaves of mature trees. The cotyledons (seed leaves) might still be visible or have withered.

Care Instructions

Oak seedlings prefer well-draining soil and typically full sun to partial shade, depending on the specific oak species. They need consistent moisture, especially in their first year, but avoid waterlogging. Protect from pests and browsing animals. As they grow, they require less water and become more drought-tolerant.
