Nice progression, thanks for the post.

Actually Ken it has come a long way. It could well develop into a nicely ramified winter silhouette. Onya Mate

How is it going with another year in its rings?

[kcpoole]

Actually just pruned this on the weekend.
not going to repot this year but cut back the rampant growth and cut the thread graft back hard to build ramification on that branch.
the donor not ready to cut off yet as I am not sure how well grafted in so we can wait another year.

Impressive roots on this tree. Especially for an oak.
I might have to try one....

Mine has quite large leaves that do not reduce to well, but I have seen another locally that are smaller and seem to reduce better.
I suspect individual variation at play so might pay to check around and select one that exhibits smaller foliage if possible.

Either way the autumn colour is to die for and especially in Sydney where other species do not colour up so well.

I know, I have 6 mature ones in my yard and they just put on acorns this year.

I'd love to see some photos when you get some nice fresh growth
