    Can this oak tree be saved?

    I'm not completely sure what you mean, but I planted this tree probably 8-9 years ago and it was maybe only 5 feet tall. I'm not an expert, but I dug a very big hole in comparison to the tree and replaced the bad soil with good. I also used my fingers to loosen the soil around the roots before...
