Got this for free from a nurseryman who only offered “some kind of oak” as a what’s what. It started in a 32 gallon pot as a root-bound 12 foot tree. In one day I cut it to its current height and used the sawzall to cut out a pancake of root mass for a transfer to an Anderson flat. In less than two weeks it started pushing. This is about 4 weeks growth.

Can anyone confirm which species of Quercus? Thanks.

Leaves resemble Southern Live Oak. Great trepidation at DRASTIC butchery all at once. Tree may only be living on stored energy and making desperate last effort to surviveo_O. Most Oaks not at all happy with much root work at one time.
