In reply to the discussion: So I thought my elm tree needed pruning and invited some estimates [View all]OAITW r.2.0
(28,794 posts)14. I planted a white oak sapling I found growing on my property 20 years ago.
I needed a shade tree on my side lawn to avoid the summer sun baking the house. This sapling was straight and looked very healthy.
Today, it has a 14" diameter butt and is over 40' tall. It's interesting that I have few acorns on the ground because I have all kinds of wildlife feasting on them. Had a turkey the past few days in to feed.
