Concordia Oaks

[letemgrow]

Would it work just to bring them inside my unheated garage and bunch them into a corner, or will the freeze over winter kill them? I’ve also got a storm cellar that stays very cold, but doesn’t freeze. I’m not trying to be lazy, I’m just not 100% sure where I want to put them. If neither of those options are good, I’ll get them all in the ground.

Thanks for the replies!

I’d just leave them in the fridge then in damp peat. They seem slow to break dormancy to me and are not like most of the other white oaks. Bur oaks take a while to break the root out also in my experience.

Some of the scientific research paperwork Paul did on the tree.

Fall color has been good on some of the Concordia oak. Another one out on the farm has a red/yellow mix to it.

Beautiful! How old is that tree on the pic?

Oops, I replied to mattpatt, Sorry! Meant to ask you, how old is that tree in the pic? Also does it produce acorns?

Here’s what my baby Concordia’s look like. Some have dropped all their leaves while a few are holding strong. Is it typical to see this much red on them, perhaps it’s because they’re just babies?

Yeah it produces acorns.

This is the same tree in 2009

That’s impressive! I hope mine grow like that!

Sure is a pretty yellow. Those you sent me in '10 have grown really good. They are still green, however, and have never produced acorns.

That’s crazy that they haven’t produced at least something by now. I would expect even Concordias planted where they have received no additional water or care to have at least produced something by year 8. The ones in my yard produced this year at age five but of course they are babied during the dry summer months. The ones I have that are the same age in the field look good for the most part but have not produced acorns. I was hoping for next year but that may not be the case if they behave like yours.

It could be due to where I planted them. It is a frost pocket. However, last year one set acorns but they never matured. The largest one has never even bloomed though.

They seem to be predominately bicolor trait wise to me...except for that fall color. Bicolor never throws anything like that up in my area.

I get it in north Georgia.

Concordia Oaks aren't on the Missouri Dept.Conservation seeding list again this year. It’s a bummer because the ones I planted a few years ago are holding up fine. If anyone has any Concordia acorns for sale or trade I’d be very interested.

I took scions off 3 Concordia oaks from my place that had some fall color unlike regular bicolor/swamp white oak.

They are pretty. Too bad it’s so warm.

Pic of one of my three surviving Concordia Oaks in E. Texas. Not much in the way of Fall color but seems to have adapted to its home on the creek bank. The Chinese privet is out of control in this area

I wonder how these would grow in Wisconsin? I would be more than happy to pay(Send you a check, paypal, venmo, etc) if any members have a few acorns they could spare to test these in a northern region.
