I’m in NE Ohio and we have mostly red oaks around us. I did find a bur oak earlier this fall and collected a bunch of acorns that are currently over wintering in my shed. Fingers crossed I have a bunch of baby bur oaks in the spring!
At the grocery store I saw some acorns on the ground, but none of them had on the crown. It could be a Northern Red or Shingle. Could you show what they look like without the crown? And will they grow without it? I picked up a dozen or so to try and grow. Thanks!
Great, thanks! Explain the holes, maybe talk about ants that live in them. Maybe why you are excited about oaks? I like them because they are a "keystone species" of tree, supporting many kinds of insects. This makes them centers for biodiversity and very attractive to birds.
Hi! I think that is a great idea for another video :) I thought going into that much detail may take away from the actual acorn identification. I'll definitely keep it in mind though!
@@moplantdaddy I'd also like to know more about them too, in another or many other videos. Like, what kind of root system each one has, how tall each grows; are they better to grow in direct sun or is shade OK. Things like that. Are they evergreens or do they lose their leaves.
I had over 200 acorns to feed the squirrels. I tried planting, but the squirrels stole them. So I decided to plant inside. It got VERY cold outside, so I have over 5 white oak trees growing inside! I'm afraid the root will die since the planting pot is small.
Which of these acorns have you seen?

@@kimr2581 Aww I hope you get all of those bur oaks this spring! Then you can eventually have all of those gigantic acorns haha

Great video. Thanks. Although the “red oaks have more tannin” thing is a myth according to Samuel thayers research
