I bought a tree today!
I got a bur oak. It's a nice big white oak, with enormous acorns (up to 2" long) with big fuzzy caps that make them even bigger.
My tree is fairly young (about 12' tall) and in a 15 gallon container. My soil is of such, um, uncertain quality that the nursery recommended a young tree that can establish itself quickly and learn to deal with the rocks and clay.
It's going in the back yard where I can get some shade from the south. And I think I'm going to name it Marya, after the Russian woman from Hogan's Heroes (played by Nita Talbot). Because she wears furry hats like the acorn caps.
