This tree in the foreground is a young oak tree I was trying to grow. It was doing well. It has been outdoors all summer, it had lots of leaves. I planted it in the ground about 5 weeks ago. Last night, some forest beast (I’m assuming a deer) came along and ate all its leaves, leaving only a few. I’m not sure it can survive this.

i bet it will survive! you might protect from critters with fence post, re-rod – something you can pound into the ground and then some chicken wire – if the roots become established this fall it should be fine – good thick layer of mulch may help too – just don’t put mulch up against the trunk.
sad fishing season there – sad grass season here
