I just bought four 10-gallon and two 5-gallon pot size live oaks at the Corsicana Home Depot a couple of weeks ago. They are all on sale.
If you go that route, you maybe in for some work.
The 10-gallon live oaks where root bound like crazy. I had to soak them in a 55 gallon drum half filled with water for about an hour and then use the water hose to spray out and get the roots apart. The actually floated when I first put them in the water. The 5 gallon trees where so much easier to work with and didn't require the extra work or soaking. I just added a little thrive after planting and gave them a good soaking. The bigger trees required a sore back and almost all of the day.
