I'm not sure why but apparently it is quite rare in the wild so I really wanted to plant one on our property. Well that and the fact it is an outrageously beautiful tree. I highly recommend buying trees at MacPhail nursery and visiting the homestead. It's a really beautiful spot, lots of trails and you can see mature trees before buying your small trees. It gives you an idea of what you're getting into. Just bring lots of money because you'll want one of everything! I already have plans to go back next spring.<br /><br />Ms. S - He is a beautiful tree and I'm really impressed how quickly he's growing. It's a great feeling when you put the right plant in the right spot and they happily grow away. There's only a couple trees I can immediately identify and oaks are one of them due to that distinctive leaf shape!Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-26287987158317973372010-10-30T00:22:11.891-03:002010-10-30T00:22:11.891-03:00It's he the sweetest little oak ever!

They look like an oak tree leaf ought to look, strong and elegant.

I've heard of MacPhail's nursery and I plan to buy many many trees from them to increase the size of my forest. I was wondering how oak trees would do on the island and now I know!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.com
