It had sprouted in a sheltered place behind a shed at his brother's house, and he left it there until it got big enough (5') to transplant. It's now been in its new location for two years and it's going strong. If you can find a sheltered location to put it temporarily, til it matures a bit, I'd recommend this method.

It's nice to be useful! Did you plant your oaks from seed? If so, when did you stick 'em in the ground? Hey, thanks for reading! It’s nice to be useful! Did you plant your oaks from seed?
