Here is a red oak tree that I grew from an acorn. It's one of the few that deer missed on their dinner night out in my garden. Now it has brilliant red leaves. Some of the others were a nice red too, but this one is incredible. I fond a nice location for it and planted in the ground, with some fencing for protection. Red oaks grow faster than while oaks, so it has potential to reach at least "tree size" during my lifetime
I imagine that the other deer marauding victims will recover and grow next year. There are a couple that I would like to save. I also noted that while the red oaks were de-leafed, the white oaks were left untouched. Tougher, smaller leaves? Or just not noticed?
