Silky oak, also known as Silver oak, Australian silver oak, Southern silky oak
Silky oak is generally low-maintenance and can be considered easy to care for in suitable climates. Key care points include ensuring silky oak is planted in well-draining soil and in a location that receives full sun to promote healthy growth. Silky oak requires minimal additional water once established, but young plants benefit from regular watering until their root systems are developed. Pruning is not essential but can be done to maintain desired shape and size.
