I have a few oaks to select from...

There is a good chance I'll be moving this fall and I may want to get a jump start on putting in a few baby oaks(they are about 4' tall).

The base soil is sandy/loamy, is neutral to slightly alkaline and has a decent amount of field stone that averages about 7" dia. There are many mature native lindens growing in the area...I'm assuming Tilia americana.

Quercus velunta (not fimilar with it)

Quercus macrocarpa (love the form, but fall color is poor)

Quercus muhlenbergi (not familar with it)

Quercus ellipsoidalis (I think they are droopy as they mature?)

Quercus rubra (little concern with oak wilt)

Quercus bicolor (a sure bet)

Quercus alba (can be finiky)
