Oak: November 2024 ground training

An oak is never going to get a decent size in a pot. And since I pulled out the Oven’s Wattles, I have a ground space asking to be filled.

This is just over a year old. The branches only came out in the past couple of months.
Not really a root system to speak of, which isn’t surprising.
Oak, this is ground. Ground, this is Oak.

Oak and ground, this is Water. Create Biomass!

I think I’ll try to take it out of the ground a couple of times to work on the roots. I’m also thinking I can get some movement in by using string on stakes – we did this by accident with an apple tree. But it’s all too early for that.

(Also, next time I’m in Ballarat I should check on the parent to see if I can get a better identification than just ‘oak’.)
