Live oak planted in fall. Not looking great. Trunk scrape shows some green. New green leaf growth at the base. Should I prune? Pull and replant a new tree?

Nope. Probably dead. Sorry for your loss.
You can try nitrogen fertilization and heavy watering, but chances are you are too late.

Take off the stake and leave it until next winter…. you’ll know for sure by then.

I had a live oak sapling that did just, was going to pull it out but then I saw it coming back from the roots. I am traumatized, however that my bur oak sapling, doesnt look like it is coming back and I was so careful with this one, watering covered well for the freeze. 🙁
