Looking good, woodchuck. I know what you mean when you talk about growth spurts....
I have an area that is overgrown with
weeds (I am doing that on purpose) near a maple
tree. I was recently surprised to find a small
seedling of a maple
growing under a
rose bush... it was
growing fast but due to the
rose thorns I did not want to yank it out or cut it. Before, I could barely see it since it was
growing under the
rose rush and had
weeds around the
rose. Then suddendly, it was taller than the
rose bush! Talk about a sudden growth spurt! It's as if one of the roots hit pure nitrogen in the soil and it took off.
If you are not going to keep it, tell other WI Forum Members if anyone nearby wants to trade/exchange.
Good luck with the oak, Luis
