Dan,
How about English Oak Quercus robur....do you have any around your
area.......or Bob ...or anyone for that matter. I would love to try grow
some acorns from this tree.
Dirr says he likes Quercus phellos (Willow Oak), and Quercus lyrata
(Overcup Oak), better than the Englis Oak. I am not familar w/ these.
They look like zone 5 trees.....anyone familar w/ these?
MOnty
