Sand live oak thrives in full sun to partial shade in NE Florida. Site in open, sunny locations with well-drained sandy or scrub soil; it is highly wind- and drought-resistant once established.
Extremely drought-tolerant once established in NE Florida's sandy soils. Water regularly only during the first year to encourage deep rooting; no supplemental irrigation is needed after establishment.
Prefers poor, sandy, acidic, well-drained soils typical of Florida scrub, coastal dunes, and sandhills. Fertilizer is generally not needed; overly rich soils encourage weak growth. Mulch the root zone during establishment.
