Does he look healthy? Finally repotted my oak today, it's been due for a while now, he does think it's spring, because he lives on top of a radiator, even tho we are just at the end of winter here. He is 3-4 years old now, grown from a acorn found outside #EnglishOak #oaktree #oakfern

Please welcome: Mighty oak - we lifted an acorn from the ground for fun and then threw it into the ground for fun. two months later we almost cut him off because he looked like an arigula, we did cut him off and then we put the cut back there and he grew up back. The years will past you’ll be the big man somewhere in the forest🌱
