I collected a nice mid-sized tree today from the far eastern edge of the Glacial Lake Agassiz shore in north central Minnesota. I assumed it was what I call "scrub oak", which is very prevalent in this region along the ridges above swampy and marshy areas. There was a single large taproot going straight down, plus 2 more smaller taproot-style roots extending laterally. Native soil was incredibly similar to bonsai soil - loose, gravely, fast draining. There was only one leaf left - a very small one that unfortunately blew out of my hand before I could save it for positive identification.
I really like the overall movement, and the shari and some jin are promising. Not much for nebari. I think this is a white/swamp oak.
