I have 4 oak trees all over 50 yrs of age which shed loads of acorns but within a few weeks they are taken by squirrels, Jays, pigeons, mice etc, and I doubt if I find more than about 20 a year trying to grow. You wonder why? That is a reasonable question. But let's do a small comparison: Experience shows that i will have several hundred sprouting by spring and these things will have put down a 4" tap root into clay based soil. They are not easy to pull at that point. I do not have much more oaks in number than you. I have 6 but they are amazing producers -- and 70 to 85 feet tall. FACE |
