A Red Oak

Elaine and I planted this Red Oak at the Seward United Methodist Church some 10 years ago. It was a 3-4 foot, bare root little "stem" but is growing into a nicely shaped tree. It suffered considerable damage during it's early years from a "weed eater". At one time, I tried to keep the grass back a foot or so from the trunk but didn't keep it up. It has had a protective collar around the trunk for the past few years which  enabled it to grow into a beautiful young tree. There are some small flowering trees in front of the Church as well, but this is the only one in front of the Church that will become a big tree.
