That is what got my interest.

but that doesn't show the one you mentioned.
anyway, i actually was intrigued by the idea of a varigated
oak, so i have been poking around Google trying different
keywords. so far i've come up with a place in Ohio called Hoot
Owl Hollow that has a couple varigated oaks, but not the one
you mentioned.
http://www.hootowlhollow.com/index.html
and the page with the oaks (near the bottom: quercus)
http://www.hootowlhollow.com/catalog/trees.html

hopefully the URLs won't wrap...
