Hi, All . . . .Does anyone live near this tree? I discovered it, while
vacationing there in Austin back in Sept. 1983 (and gathered some
discarded branches + acorns from the ground . . . to bring home to
Hollywood, Ca. . . . out of about 34 acorns, only one grew to about 2'
. . then died), and NOW would like to get some of it's acorns again to
try to have her "offspring" grow here in L.A.! Any help would be deeply
appreciated, thanks!

Enjoy the day! [:-)

I don't know if treaty Oak acorns are available any more.

In 1989 someone tried to kill the tree with a massive overdose
of herbicide. Parts of the tree were lost, and the part that
survived didn't produce any acorns until 1997. IIRC, they're
still a scarce commodity.

Try the e-mail address at the bottom of this link and see what

Is it just me, or would that page have been greatly enhanced by a jpeg?

Maybe even a "then-and-now" comparison, or something.
