Ickyguy's Acorn to Oak tree thread

Gathered some more acorns on a walk the other day and got around 15 planted.


I'll probably get some more started to give me some more to experiment on as the contest goes on.

Now let the battle with squirrels begin

If you didn't cover the acorns with an inch or two of soil after snapping this photo, you might want to go ahead and do that. It'll add a layer of insulation against temperature swings, and it'll help keep the acorns from drying out too much.

cover the acorns

Yep, they're covered and kept a bit higher up to hopefully deter any scavengers. Thanks for the tip though, because I was definitely doing some Google searching as I haven't planted any acorns on purpose before.
