Dear John,

Thank you so much for your advice and suggestions. I planned to make the apex more rounded already. In this way, the tree will look older.
In my experience too, oaks thicken up amazingly quickly, even when potted. Somebody once told me oaks don’t like being potted, but mine seem to be pretty happy nevertheless.
Wire bites in very quickly too indeed.
About the mildew: my oaks have it each growing season, but after treatment with an anti-fungicide it doesn’t spread further and does not seem to affect the vitality of the tree.
