Anything with a plausible explanation should work, but I'm fairly sure that some trees propagate ONLY due to fire, so it would probably be hard for humans to figure out which elves would accept it.
And if oaks are the sort that frequently survive cleaning out the undergrowth, they wouldn't necessarily mind, either.
