This is an uncommon story about an English oak, Quercus robur, common in Britain and on the European continent, where it is also known as European oak and; not surprisingly, as common oak. This particular tree's history traverses some 60 years, sincebeing potted as a bonsai probably as early as the mid 1950s, being returned to a life of growing in the ground, and ultimately being potted again to resume life, its "second being," as a bonsai.
