How big are your NUTS?

[turtlshell]

here's an image of the acorns off the mothership tree I was talking about this summer. I would love to have a tree full of these HONKERS...because there would be plenty of well fed deer:way:

Hahaha... what do you call nuts on your wall? Walnuts! What do you call nuts on your chest? Chestnuts! What do you call nuts on your chin?........

Red oak? In a city/town, park setting with little competition and/or one planted for landscape?

I love how you have a package explaining the long lasting flavor and how it cleans and protects your teeth as you show us your nuts.

No...yes...yes It's some hybrid cross of bur oak and (?????????????)

AWESOME, gum reference...not too often someone beats Bonker to the punch :way:

and that wall, chest, chin joke is one of my all time favorites

This tree was so loaded with acorns that all the brances are drooping from the weight. I would guess it is either straight bur oak or crossed with a white oak. It certaintly has out-produced all the other bur oaks around it since I have had my eye on it. The acorns/leaves are also different than the other bur oaks around it. A quarter was used in the pic for a reference.

Branches sagging from the acorns.

This pic was before all the acorns really filled out, man did this tree really grow the acorns this year!!

Diameter at the base of the tree...pretty young one I would imagine.

Yep and with all the acorns this year you better keep the snow shovel close.

 

[Elitebowhunter]

[blakesburg]

Yep, they are already calling for a horrible winter.

 

[jawelch]

Anyone ever try to grow one of these indoors... as a house plant?

 

[letemgrow]

Yep, they are already calling for a horrible winter.

Last year was pretty bad in my area....the white oaks went into hibernation too cause few had any acorns. It is far different this year tho, the white oaks are all loaded.
