How long with DCO acorn last in the fridge with sprout started already? Assuming a while as long as they don’t dry out.
 
Do you put in peat moss or just plain? Also do you poke holes in your ziplocs? I read through the acorns to oaks thread and seem to remember guys saying dco's needed treated a little different.
I've not had any issues. Peat moss w/ little bit of moisture. Not too much. I use bags that aren't sealed like grocery bag or trash bag.

Actually collecting some today. (this is full size Chinkapin)

10-4! I planted some in grow bags already that I am planning on transplanting next fall after I have some areas cleaned up.
 
Agree on above. I don’t get too moist with peat moss. Like- barely moist. Here’s key or one thing that has helped me…. I put in a cold fridge. Like 35 degrees. Just above freezing. I’ve had more trouble on warmer fridge settings. Really seemed to help being very cold.
 
Will this work or do I need to insulate the sides? .5 gallon grow bags. Planning on keeping them watered.
Worth a shot. I’ve never tried that way myself but likely it’s fine. Don’t over water them. Looks great!
