I am leaving/selling my childhood home in Texas, and going to Massachusetts. I thought it might be a nice reminder of home if I could bonsai one of the tiny Oaks that are in the back yard.
Also, I understand that this is a fine art, I'm sure I will be able to find help with the larger process in Boston. But as of right now, I don't want to go digging up the back yard if it won't do me any good! In addition, if there are any websites that may help, that would be great, Thanks !

Yes, oak can be turned into bonsai. There is some good bonsai information here.
