There was only about 1" of stem above the ground. Two days ago I was curious about the roots so I dug it up. The taproot had fresh growth on the end so I potted it in 100% akadama set it under a maple tree for shade except for the early morning and early evening. I guess what I'm asking is if I'm wasting some soil and superthrive or there is a good chance it will rebud next year?

I have a ton of natural oak seedlings that fall from the tree and sprout. I mow right over them and it cuts every one off to a stub. Then they seem to sit dormant and before you know it poof more growth. This keeps repeating all season long until I get off my lazy butt and take a shovel to them and dig them out. It can't hurt as you are learning what works for you. Good luck! __________________ There is unrest in the Forest There is trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas.

I also have another little oak next to a shrub in the yard that I was thinking of transplanting next spring. I agree, the practice will do me good.
