Country: USA USDA Zone: 8 AHS Heat Zone: 2 Posts: 3,197	Re: Coast Live Oak Adam, It's a nice species to work with, despite a few foibles. It handles chopping quite well and grows like a weed in your part of the country. It tends to have a strong taproot and to be somewhat sensitive to having this root cut back: do it year by year in sections, not the whole thing at a time! I had good luck with a shohin live-oak forest in a 1" deep pot when I was in California. It was really quite a nice little forest within three years after I planted it from cut-back saplings with their tap roots removed over a two year span. -Old Mister __________________ In love with trees
