Masterpiece
I was walking around in the woods behind the house on Sunday looking for a nice Virginia Pine to dig up and came across this oak. It has great bark, nice movement and some nice lateral roots (now buried) so I decided to dig it up. The tree was probably about 10 feet tall and I chopped it at about the 2.5' mark and went with the Zach Smith method of major root reduction. I really hope it survives the collection because I think it can be a nice tree in time. I knew it would need to be a large tree to deal with the leaf size issue. I'm not sure what kind of oak it is yet - hopefully I'll get a chance to find out.
