Dwarf chinkapin oak

In think the early producing DCOs are more hype than anything. Yes, some get lucky and their trees start producing at 3-4 years but it’s certainly not a large quantity of nuts. I’m convinced the time frame for these trees is more like 9-10 years before you’ll start getting a good quantity of nuts.

That would be true due to nothing but the size of the trees. Little trees can't produce much.

Mine start out like that and have went on to make full acorns? Granted every type of tree I have planted on that hillside blows up in growth.

It all looks great from pics. I weighed the acorns off the trees I have and this was the grand total....

This would have been 95% of the acorns my trees produced also.

Same way with Chestnuts. People get excited when their five year old tree starts producing. In reality a hand full of nuts isn’t going to make much difference.

Letemgrow,

This is one of the acorns I got from you years ago. I think they came out of NE. Do you have a bunch planted together or spread out singles?

This is what my DCO's look like right now. I get a lot of production, but I have them native. I don't consider them real important but they do fill a small void. They are always my first acorn drop of the yr and it only lasts about a week. If I want to collect them I have to check on Wednesdays... waiting until the weekend might be too late.

Yes they are planted together at the farm. Have a single here at the house with acorns also.

 

[letemgrow]

We shall see if the small acorns continue to grow from the single in my yard....

They seem to be getting a little bigger. When do you guys see your acorns ready? Late Sept?

Here's what mine look like. I don't remember the dates but late September sounds about right. I know it's a week or so before my regular Chinkapin's drop.

Looks like I'm not too far off on progress. Being 3 hours away and only making it up there once a month I'll have to watch for updates here when it gets closer to picking time.

Mine are more early-mid September

 

[letemgrow]

I looked back at the dates last year and had mine bagged by Sept 6th and they were already turning on the trees then.

Here are some of my DCO's as of today (7/20/18) near Atlanta. They appear to be growing.

The acorns on on my tree aren’t near that big. I don’t think mine got pollinated.

Took this of mine Monday. I think I'm golden this year.

I noticed on mine that maybe 50% of the acorns are maturing the rest are starting to drop now.

 

[mattpatt]

All of mine dropped a couple weeks ago. I’m assuming because they didn’t get pollinated.

These are as of today (8/16). Jokers have exploded in the past month.
