Trees are covered by our Survival Guarantee as long as you protect them with a tree tube and follow warranty conditions. See full warranty conditions here: Survival Guarantee
Mycorrhizae is a beneficial soil fungus that grows on the roots of your trees and helps them take up water and nutrients more effectively. Similar to inoculating plants like beans and peas prior to planting. If you select this option we will include a packet of mycorrhizae granules with your trees. Just sprinkle in the hole prior to planting and you're good to go. We don't plant anything here at the farm without using it ourselves!
When you buy from us you can rest assured that you're going to end up with a healthy growing tree come spring. We guarantee that all our trees will emerge from dormancy so you don't have to worry about spending your money on something that may or may not bud out come spring. Just follow the recommendations in our planting instructions and your tree is covered.
You must protect your trees with one of our tree tubes for this guarantee to apply.

Chinquapin oaks are one of the best varieties of oak for wildlife. They produce acorns that have very low tannin content which means they taste great to deer, turkeys, raccoons, black bear, and pretty much everything else in the woods. Typically they’re one of the very first types of acorns deer choose to eat when given a variety. They’re a magnet for wildlife when they drop Sept-Oct. Unlike most of our other trees Chinquapin oaks need neutral or slightly alkaline soil to thrive. They can’t handle acidic soils. They should also be located in a well drained area.

Growing zones: 4-7
Soil type: Prefers neutral or alkaline well drained soil
pH: 7.0-8.5
