Hi:

I retrieved a 3 inch oak seedling from the forest today.

I planted it in an insualted pot outside sheltered from wind in a moist soil.

The roots were given root powder.

I defoliated 5 leaves that were still green

Was it wrong to take the leaves off?

Zone 5a 5b Temp probably will not go above 50 degrees again.

The acorn was still attached in a root ball that was 2inches in diameter.

That tap root was 6 inches long terminating in nice micro roots.

Would this eventually make a good subject for Bonsai?

How long should I pot it for?

Canada

Thanks
