| In the fall of '07 I planted a white oak acorn over an old pecan stump I had grinded, that tree is now over 12' tall. A Bur oak I planted around the same time is only half that size. |

| From what I've seen, white oaks can grow a bit faster than their reputation suggests, sometimes if in a good area, with lots of water, can put on 2-3 feet in a year for a few years. That's not typical, but it can happen. |

| Ken it is my house, excuse the junk laying all over, I start lots of projects at once and there's some caos to the yard. I have limbed up the tree in the picture since the pic was taken. I lollipoped my Burr oak too since then. I take a bunch of pics and then download them when there's lots on the camera. My Mamoth is only about 7-8 ft from the tree. He's about the size of a St. Bernard. Alabama and joescmo I have another that has grown about 3 ft but I don't have pics yet of all the new growth and I nver planned on keeping it it's in a bad place, too close to a shed. |

This is a 2 year old or 3 yr old volunteer before all the new growth The yard stick shows where the new spring growth started.  It has grown about 3 ft about 2 ft of it is shown here. I may keep it there and remove part of the shed, instead of the tree getting moved. |
|
| Forgot to mention this was a volunteer I never moved from 2-3 years ago. I should've moved it the same year I saw it anyway, the barn/shed may have to go, I know the roots are probably to china/ or the neighbors house by now. |
