Schuettes Oak... Itasca has plugs available for next year. I ordered 100.
Excellent tree that is tough, grows fast and produces acorns in 6-10 years (if you baby them)!

For you oak guys, they still have some available I think? This tree will probably produce acorns in 8-10 years if taken care of.

When do they drop? My native bur oaks have all their bounty on the ground usually by September 1st and it's gone by September 15th.

I would say September for the most part. I don't have that many producing. In 5 years I should know a lot more.
Swamp White Oak is fine too, but the hybrid seems to be a tougher tree, and quicker on the acorn drop.

I have some swamp white oak I grew from acorns from a southern source. I have had slow growth here where I live and very slow growth up towards SD’s.
I feel the light soils are the problem. I won’t live to see acorns from them.

Art--have you every tried Bur Oak on your place? I planted a few 3-4 foot Bur Oaks from A ND nursery on sandy soil, near a creek, and I have some 15-20 footers right now.

I have native bur oaks at both of my locations. Do you notice much burr oak regen? Yes, up north and yes on northern slopes or shaded here at home. Very, very slow growth on the low sand with sun exposure. A bit of shade from the west helps. That is probably also a location where snows piles up and persists more. |
