Pineresin beat me to it. White oak group only, and then you'll have an ordeal chore that takes longer than canning. And an aside, for trees that size for that price, I'd be very, very careful about them. I'd take two-three out of the pot and look for roots bent at 90º, circling roots, presence of fine roots, potbound, all that. I used to own a landscaping business and I learned real quick that deals like these usually aren't deals. The price is ringing an alarm bell, not a cash register drawer. Dan

I have thousands of acorns and seedlings that pop up all over the yard. This Water Oak was large when I moved into this property in 1959!!! It's home to many squirrels and birds, as well as batches of Mistletoe. Looking for other native seeds, particularly Sassafras or butterfly host plants (shrubs/perennials). Thanks. Sharon

I understand that you have seedlings of eves necklace. Would you be willing to trade or sell them? I live in Carrollton, Texas and am looking for the shrub. I have lots of different stuff in my garden if you would like to trade. paulaneswick@hotmail.com

These two species can be trained into the same styles and both have similar-looking leaves. The leaves on both can be reduced in size when trained as a bonsai, and both grow under similar cultural conditions, e.g. temps, etc. I would like to know if the leaves on a Live Oak have the same reduction potential as Olive leaves, which can become quite small, stiff,leathery, and flat? Do Live Oak leaves, even when reduced in size, retain the characteristic, rolled margins, or will/can these leaves also become flattened like the leaves on the Olive? I have found very little specific information regarding the techniques that can be used to reduce the leaf size for Live Oak when trained as bonsai. I know all about leaf stripping to induce a new and smaller crop of leaves to replace the larger leaves. If this technique is used for Live Oak, will the newer, smaller leaves revert to the juvenile, holly-like leaves? I want to avoid this leaf shape on Live Oak. Thanks for any help. Frank
