Which Oak is that?
So far it is thriving and I hope it continues. I will feed it miracle grow

If the leaf edges are rounded and not pointed, it is likely some kind of

Do not oever-feed it. Many oaks prefer a "lean" soil.

Where are you? If this is a western oak (e.g., Quercus lobata or valley
white oak), additional care is needed. See my
