I had a bumper crop of acorns from my largest oak. My intention was to mail them out, and I did a few test mailings, but that didn’t work out so well. They either arrived desiccated or wormy, so I don’t think mailing was a good idea. <\/p>\n
What I did do was to hand carry them everywhere I went, and I probably spread twenty pounds of them around north America. <\/p>\n
I looked for places where there were grassy clearings in wooded areas that were unlikely to get mowed. I looked for good deep soil and remote areas. I dug holes with my pocketknife or a little trowel I carried in the truck or I simply stomped them into the ground wherever I could.<\/p>\n
I have planed oaks in Kansas, iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, damned near every rest stop in Indiana, a piece of property I’m privileged to be allowed to hunt in Indiana, a similar piece of property in Illinois, several Illinois forest preserves, lots of abandoned property. <\/p>\n
if even one tree grows as a result I will be well pleased. And the tree looks to be making a bumper crop already again this year, and knowing what I know now, I will be able to properly store the acorns before they get buggy this year. Sorry for anyone who was hoping for some, but as I learn and figure out what to do, I will be sending them your way. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
