They are probably referring to oaks found up north, not Live Oaks.

Live oaks grow much faster than people commonly believe.

Yes, and the occassional reference to 400 year-old specimens always
rings a little funny to me.

A healthy young live oak, properly transplanted should be growing at a
rate of diameter increase of at least 1/2 inch per year. Thus a 2"
container plant transplanted correctly with good soils and care should
approach 8" diameter in less than 10 years.

A little patience is much better than paying to transplant an 8"
diameter tree.
