Is it possible to grow an oak tree from an acorn
Surprisingly, it is possible to grow an oak tree from an acorn.
However, the process of preparing planting material and germinating a root from an acorn is not quick.
This will take from 3 months to a year. Only in the first year do oak seedlings reach 10–15 cm in height.
The size of the acorn does not play a special role, since even the smallest acorns germinate well.
However, it is better to collect acorns under large trees.
The best time to collect healthy acorns is early fall, as this is when they will begin to fall from the trees and germinate.
You need to find acorns with “live” kernels: to do this, shake the fruit and listen to whether something rattles inside it or not.
How to grow oak from an acorn
Take a plastic bag and fill it about halfway with equal parts wood shavings and moss.
Then place the acorns in a bag and put it in the refrigerator.
Plant the sprouted acorns in separate pots or containers. After that, plant the seedlings in open ground in the spring.
