An English Oak showed early season leaf drop/stunted growth. The culprit was being planted too deep over 20 years ago with a planting basket still attached.
Deep planting can lead to long term root death, as well as girdling roots (chokes the trunk of the tree) when planting baskets are left intact in the ground.
