To think that this little tree came from an acorn from the parent oak behind my childhood homestead. We gathered the acorns in fall of 1997. After giving them to my neighbor who has a green thumb, he germinated them and grew two lovely trees. Unfortunately, the runt tree succumbed to the lawn mowers repeated attacks. Jr. survived and this year will be 9 years old.
