Nice oaks with a lot of potential. Enjoyed this episode. But like the last tree: why don't you use some wire on the bottum (straight) part of the tree and bend it in a nice shape? This would make the tree look even more interesting and it is now still flexible enough to bend.
Just a video I needed to get inspired. Started some oaks last year from seed so am praying they survive the winter on my balcony🙏. They are european oak from nature and think some american oak (red or white) from park trees. If they die I can follow yours lol, will try again tho. Cheers🍻
GJ Mike. How old is your daughter? I got 4 year old son, and he just cought all of air roots of my ficus :D He said that those were a weard brunches, but he was happy :D so what I could do ;) keep growing these, will be nice to look at them ine next few years
Not much to look at right now. It got some of that powdery mildew stuff that I'm trying to treat with neem oil. Once that clears up, I'll do an update.
Question for ya, I started some acorns I collected last fall and I have seen that they grew roots but upward leaves, think they did that on purpose and will shoot up this spring? I'm not too familiar with oaks yet.
Honestly I am not sure. Out of the 3 oaks I am growing from seed, they all 3 have a mind of their own and are doing wildly different things. SOmetimes I think they dont even care what I want! lol
I think there were about five years old at this point. Or close to it. I trim the tips of the branches so that they will split and grow two branches and create more ramification.
Great updates Mike! The oaks have some great future potential… especially the first 2. The pruning on the first oak was Nigel Saunders level. 🤣
Thanks Jay! Nigel would be so proud of me 😀👍

Thought about it but I am notorious for not taking the wires off in time. I why away from using them as much as possible.

Oaks are pretty tough from what I'm seeing so far. They tough out the winter like champs. Good luck on yours!

19 actually. My kids learned not to touch my trees. Pets on the other hand...
The first tree grew back pretty well, did you fertilize?
can u do an update now that summer is over

I might have missed it if you said in the video, but what species of oak are these?
Not 100% sure but I think they might be bur oaks.
That’s hilarious, you said your maple died after you cut it, gee, did you leave any branches on it? Lmao
Not sure. What part did I mention that? I'll go back and see which one I was talking about.

Nice! How old are the trees? What is the reason that you trim the tips of the remaining branches? Thanks!
