I collected acorns from two separate sources, one nearby, one on the other
side of the country.

I propagated five acorns from the remote source, and six from the local
source.

Unfortunately, a close encounter with a family member seeking pots meant I
had to repot the acorns from discarded materials and the identification of
the source was lost.

Surprisingly, after such appalling treatment, most of the acrons seem to
have taken with two plants showing very good signs of developing.

I would like to identify them, and have collected leaf specimens from the
nearby source. Unfortunately, the leaves are of such variety in colour,
shape and length that I cannot find any reliable difference between these
leaves and any of the seedling trees.

I have photographs of the reference leaves, and of the various young trees
and I'd appreciate the assistance of someone who knows a great deal more
than I about this. (Not a hard call given I know no more than the above
grin.)

Where may I post these images, since I don't see any images posted on this
newsgroup at all.

Kind regards

John.
