Bur oak is close to white oak. Do the acorns mature on
current growth or on last years growth of bur oak?

for a tree expert you certainly ask pretty basic questions...
bur oak acorns take 2 years to mature, so they obviously
mature on last years growth.

I pinged a host that wasn't there
It wasn't there again today
The host resolved to NSA.

I do not have all the answers. So in that respect a bur oak is similar to a
red oak. Very interesting. I learn something new everyday.
I believe the vessel arrangement is similar to white oak with tyloses
plugging all but the current growth increment. Can you verify that Lee?
