Well despite one of the cats having walked over them and snapped a twig or two while exploring the garage in the winter, all four of the black oaks I brought home from Kentucky have leafed out and begun growing. They come out red, just like the Shumards we have here. Woke up a little after the red oak did, but that might just be whips versus a tree that I’ve had in the ground 7 years and which was probably 3-4 years old when I planted it.
When they get enough growth to show off some foliage, I’ll snap some pics. I’m hoping they adapt well, since they look quite pretty and are very strong in KY-TN area where they’re from.
