A live oak (Quercus virginiana) I planted about 3 yrs ago, now about 7ft (2m) tall, was not completely uprooted, but slanted to about 45 degrees, by Hurricane Isabel. I've reset and staked the tree. I also gave it some superphosphate and water. What else should I do? We have relatively warm winters (at least until Jan 1 or so). Would it be helpful to give it a little nitrogen, now or later? Or not until spring?
