Dwarf chinkapin oak

My suggestion is if you have cows around, don't plant them.

As you can see from this not-so-good picture the bloom spikes in post #73 have indeed tried to set at least one acorn here in SEPTEMBER. I have started harvesting acorns from this tree already. You can see in the background one "normal" acorn that is almost ready to harvest.

How tall are your DCO’s?

 

[THE LLC]

Less than 5'9" because they are shorter than me.

From post 82 above the acorn is forming. I guess if it doesn't get cold til Christmas here like normal I'll get one out of this.

I have a few second generation DCOs heading up to the farm this weekend. Planning on planting on the hill with the parent tree and my Concordia oaks.

Same tree as in the previous post only two years older. 8yo

Have yet harvest viable acorns. Had some last year but none of them germinated. Maybe this year.

Same tree as before. Decided not to fertilize this year and the tree has exploded!

We have some trees planted behind the house 3 springs ago that have some little acorns on them. I'm not sure they will turn into much yet. I'll try to remember to take a picture of them.

Ive adopted this strategy as well and plan to keep mine in pots for another year

The bigger(rootball) , the better in our texas heat!

Here’s one of the young dco’s behind the house, I mentioned above. This is the first year for acorns.

These big 5 gallon Rootmaker pots are perfect for this. May be even a little too big.

Looks like the DCO in my yard that was loaded has aborted at least half of its acorns. I assume due to non-pollination. I have got to get another tree established in my yard!

I was a little worried about the size of the acorns on our little trees, but they are comparable to yours. Do they typically put on a lot of growth in their last growing month?

 

[mattpatt]

They end up being about the size of a marble. Not the big marbles but the regular sized ones. At least that’s the way they’ve been over here.
