Today I spotted two Oaks that appear to be good specimens for bonsai. They both appear to be at least 7 feet tall and 2 1/2 inches in diameter. I know they are Oak, but exactly what type of Oak, I have no idea. The tree was in the foothills in the Glendora/San Dimas area of Southern California. I was hoping that someone familiar with this area could tell me what type of Oak grow there and whether or not they would be a good candidate. I've also been reading that Oak can be a bit touchy when it comes to their roots. Because I don't anywhere near by, I was hoping to dig them up, but I don't want to harm them in the process. Can someone give me some suggestions? I'll see if I can snap some shots of them tomorrow. Maybe that will help identify.
