Default Planting burr Oak acorn

Should this acorn be soaked? Scored? anything?
Thanks, Jackie

Have they over wintered out side? I would recommend you float them in
water, those that sink are good, the floaters are empty hulls. Your
location could determine how to handle them, but, if they over wintered
outside, and they sink, plant them a couple of inches deep (like the
squirrels) and see what comes up. Water them when it rains, if they in a
protected area.
