A BIT of a puzzle.

[David oakman]

This is a chestnut leaved oak tree and it died i cut it down and was going to dig up the stump and replant in the autumn but look what happened. What i want to know is what type of oak is this and was the chestnut leaved oak a graft? I think i will leave this as a shrub.

Oak leaves are pretty variable aren't they though David and epicormic leaves are more than most!

the wood looks like turkey to me

Puzzle is solved i phoned barchums and nearly all chestnut leaved oaks are grafted onto english oak, he said one or two nurserys take hardwood cuttings but most are grafted.
