Easily. Young oak seedlings can put on about 2 feet of growth a year.
I've grown oaks from acorns and been able to climb in them 12 years
later.

Yes it is! Much taller than Bramley apple tree, though trunk not very
thick at moment, just quite big all over and 'airy' not quite climbable
but certainly would take A bit of time to saw through trunk if i ever
wanted to. It was slow for about 3 years and then suddenly started
putting on quite bit of growth. Squirrels sit in it and the tree must
support fair amount of wildlife. Had lots of acorns this year, though i
will start nibbling at widest branches in a couple of months as they are
becoming quite wide.
Must take a picture .................
