I tried bonsaing from acorn about 15 years ago and still have the tree
that has spent its entire life in a pot. It is a thin sickly specimen in
comparison to the many that I've done by planting them out in the
ground.

If it were me I'd collect. I've collected some red oak around here. I found one
in a semi-boggy area that should be very nice after it recovers for a year in the
ground. I understand the appeal of growing from seed, though, although I don't
think I'd live long enough to see the project through!
