Default Length of tap root on an oak tree?

they got really long tap roots. I would try packing some 12" pieces of PVC with dirt
and plant in that. then the dirt can just slip out without disturbing the tap root.

In the spring they will be planted in the ground.

How long of a tap root do these babies make? Or how deep should the pot
be?

Thanks for your help.
