In front of our house are two Live Oak trees planted by our builder, probably around January 2023. I haven’t done much with them, except to provide weekly deep waterings (3-5 gallons of water per tree) during the summer drought, and to improve the mulch circles in which they sit.
An encouraging sign recently was the sight of new leaf growth on one of the trees. This suggests that the root system is strong, and is one of the indicators I was looking for to proceed with removing the support stakes and ties. (The other indicator is to wait for the end of hurricane season.)
