acorn

Is it best to sow the little acorn fruit or reproducing the tree from a cutting? Any other advice?

 

Sow the acorn, don't think cuttings work from oak, they get big mind

 

They take for ages to grow, but I have a few growing from the acorns

 

1 wait for acorns to start to drop from tree .
2 place acorns in a bucket of warm water for about 1hr .
3 remove floaters they are no good the ones that sink are good .
4 place in a plastic bag and place into fridge for about 90 days .
5 i tie pieses of 6" long drainpipe together and fill with peat put the acorn in and top off with sharp sand place in corner of garden and wait .

i get about 90% sucsess :D
