[Hello everyone,
I have had this tree for about 4 years now, bought at a nursery in Samford. It was deteriorating, root bound and ant infested. It took me 6 months to buy it, and managed to get the price down from $50 to $30.
It was about 1.2m tall, and straight as, of course, but had a great developing base already.
Fast forward 4 years, good feeding and minimal pruning (except for direction), and here it is today.
Although just st the beginning of a very long journey, it is coming along very nicely I feel. The base is about a can's diameter.
All comment and advice welcome as always of course.

Re: English oak in Brissie
is it too late to defoliate the top of the tree? it looks like your aiming for about 400mm high by my guess
