Masterpiece
Yo. So I planted this Oak in my front yard about 5 years ago. It was a clearance rack purchase from Lowe’s. $10 or so. Loved the small leaves but the tiny trunk (at the time) didn’t seem Bonsai worthy. Well 5 years later and I was planning a move and investigated all of my yard plants that I wanted to remove or considered removing. To my surprise (though I should t have been) this tree more than doubled in thickness. So I dug it in March of this year. It started slow as winter seemed to not want to leave but has really put on growth lately and has pushed that growth in adventitious locations. I’m excited for the future of this tree.
here’s my dilemma, I don’t remember what the oak variety was. I believe it was labeled generically like “California oak” or something like that. But can’t remember for sure. Any ID help would be wonderful. @0soyoung @Leo in N E Illinois any thoughts??
These were the leaves when it was in the ground. Some are a bit large but the tree was mostly small leaved.
here it is at collection
and now
