HiHi "Literati08" I too have an oak tree to train to Bonsai. I am looking for correct lighting and also training techniques-my posting went in today. Was wondering how you are doing with yours. How old is it, where did you get yours (mine grown from acorn of a cherished "mama tree" here in Ocala,FL. It is now @ 6-8 months old and still in original pot that it was put in from the ground.Any info you've received and could pass along would be appreciated and I'll do the same. Thanks & Good Luck !!! :]
