I have just found a baby oak tree in the garden, We have several large

move it but not yet maybe :-)

That's great, Kate! We have quite a lot spring up in our garden and I
keep as many as I can.

If I were you, I'd lift and move this little tree before it gets too
deeply rooted. Moved now, it will enjoy the warm soil and get its roots
down over winter. Left for very long, it will be harder to lift and you
may damage its roots.
