TreeWalker Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Re: Questions Concerning Oak Trees..... UPDATE: Well, since i last posted to this in November, I kinda neglected my little project for several months.......meaning I forgot to water them, etc...LOL Well thinking the worst, and figuring all of them were dead, I was about to throw them out.........but I figured, I'll start watering them again, just to see if some would recover..........turns out that the vast majority of them must have went into a dormant stage of sorts.....I started the watering about 3 weeks ago, and the're coming on like gang busters... Out of the original 60, I've got 40 that have made it...........of the 20 that died off, either I had planted them too deep and mold had got them, or else some remaining worms got the rest........but I am still tickled. These little acorn sprouts survived around 4-5 months without water...........now about half of them have broke the surface, some are about a foot tall already........the rest I checked and they are just about to break the surface..........I'll be sure to get some pics up shortly.

wtnhunt Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Re: Questions Concerning Oak Trees..... Thats cool. Got oak trees I dont particularly want growing in my pastures here right now, I need to bush hog. If they didnt have such deep roots, I could dig up oak trees and give them away or sell them.
