That little cherries roots aren't going to impact that large oak's root system for a long time, if ever. Who told you it would, and what were their reasons for concern?

In general, Prunus species like your cherry languish in anything less than full sun, and judging from the arrow and the fence, it looks to be less than 12' from the oak. So I'm guessing that it will have to deal some shade, and will not exactly grow like gangbusters...
