Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Quercus seed propagation, 1 by Equilibrium

Forgot to mention that I've grown Aesculus from seed before and I did the same with them that I did with the Quercus. I can't answer your question because once they germinated, I planted them in their permanent home. I can tell you that they have one heck of a tap root like the oaks.

Please look at my Cladrastis. I am so proud of those. Those are the last two of what I propagated to go in the ground. They are only there in the tray because I still can't figure out where to plant them. I have learned that species does not like being transplanted so once I stick them in the ground, that's it. Come to think of it, I have a few Chionanthus and Fagus that I need to get in the ground that I germinated from seed and the clock is ticking.

Hope this helps. Not all that sophisticated but it works for me. I think I had a sum total of 30 trays this spring all filled to the brim with 2-liter pop bottles of dreams.
