I have just found a baby oak tree in the garden, We have several large
trees, but no Oaks. It is about a foot tall and I realise I will have
to move it but not yet maybe :-)

I am forever pulling up ones up to about 6", I I left them I would have
a oak sapling forest by now.


I left one in my lawn not that many years ago, it's now about 25 foot
high and growing! I just don't have the heart to cut it down though it
will inevitably shadow part of the vegetable beds.

Much higher and any council official doing a tree survey will say "Oh
look an Oak, here have a tree protection order."
