We planted a wind break around a field 7, maybe 8 years ago. I was happy to see that they had acorns last fall. I was out spot spraying thistles in between tress in the rows today so that I might be able to mow or spray between the rows. I happened to see that quite a few of the acorns have sprouted. Here's a couple of pics:
A little oak under it:
I also planted a red oak today that I started from an acorn a month ago. I found the acorn in the yard and it looked like it was trying to split open. I put it in a pot of soil and it sprouted, so figured I get it planted out now to avoid transplant shock later. I could see that it had pointed leaves, which makes me think red oak. Black, red, white, I don't care as long as it is an oak.:way:
