I have a little - 2' 6" approx - oak tree in a 18" pot. How long can I keep

Bonsai? Get a book (or do other research on it) . Might be fun. Oak
may or may not take to it.

English oaks make fantastic Bonsai and no english mans Bonsai
collection should be without one (Harry Tomlinson). Only problem here
is that it is already 2 1/2 feet high. To consider Bonsai`ing it I
would look at some branches fairly low down OR you could go for a big
one.

Technically it already is Bonsai but lets not get into that old
chestnut. 8-))

They are really slow growing as Bonsai so dont need as much looking
after as say a nice Jap maple. According to Harry their roots can be
sensitive to frost tho.
