Concordia Oaks

I just wonder how many of these don’t get crossed up further out from their little native range. You know what I mean? I wonder if they’ll readily cross with white, chinkapin, etc or if crossing is difficult.

I’m 99.9% certain these are Concordia x Concordia as these are the only white oak trees I have in my yard. However that’s not to say they couldn’t have crossed with something down the road I’m not away of.

Mine have all kinds of different white oaks around them is why I was wondering.

I bet you they will. After all they are a white oak and a three way cross at that. I know there are some water oaks down the road from me so it’s possible mine may have crossed with one of those but the water oak has a tiny acorn and these are the size of large marbles.

So this just happened. :(

Golfball size hail.... it lasted for a good minute and a half or so according to my wife. I wasn’t at the house at the time. It’s still raining so I can’t go out and check on my seedlings and it’s bugging me not knowing if they survived or not.

Pretty sure water oak is a red oak??
 
Leaf shape, acorn size, and the existence of peduncle suggest the Concordia oaks MP and LEG have are heavily weighted toward the swamp white oak genetics in these trees. Nevertheless, as a 3-way hybrid with fast growth tendencies, they are a great addition to their habitat efforts. I contacted a auto repair garage owner - in Concordia Mo - named Jan Petersen many years ago (he had started several CO's on his property) and paid him to send me acorns. He did; however, not one germinated ... I suspected he let them get too dry or picked up ones that had been on the ground too long. You might contact him (assuming he is still around) and see if he can furnish acorns for you. Chris Petersen at Jon's Body Shop is listed as contact person; perhaps Mr. Petersen retired. Phone for shop iis 660-463-7600. Good luck!
Seek and ye shall find. :)

Well I’ve had one casualty from the wind. Broke it off at the base so now I only have five Concordia seedlings. May not have any left if this dang wind doesn’t die down soon!

That’s where I got my original Concordia oaks from. I drove over to his shop/His mother’s house and collected some seedlings from under the trees his father had dug up and planted in the yard many years ago. They’re such nice people.

If anyone has any acorns (could be just 1) I'd be glad to pay well for them!

Just pm me if you have any available, Thanks
 
Had a chance to take a few pics of some of my Concordias that I planted in the field the same time I planted the ones that are in my yard that I have been getting acorns from for the last three years. As you can see the size difference is noticeable. These trees are approximately 7-8 years old and have yet to produce an acorn but they have survived our hot Texas summers with little to NO supplemental water! So growth has been very slow slow some years when they don’t get summer rains but their ability to tolerate summer heat is nice!

Those Concordia Oaks are such beautiful trees. I have a few of them but haven’t been able to check on them in quite a while. They seem to be pretty tough once established. Wish I had more of them
