Has anyone ever tried top collect a scrub oak from the sand
hills of NC ? You
can see many very small and knarled little trees on the sand
dunes. I've often
thought od collecting one little tree i see from the road every
time i drive
by. It's on top of a dune and looks like a oak tree that should
be huge but
it's small dwarfed almost alein.


These trees grow on top of sand dunes because nothing else will
and they can. They send roots down entirely through the dune in
search of water in perched aquifers, so roots are thick and
long -- VERY long. This makes successful collecting unlikely.
I'd recommend enjoying it where it is.
