Our time has come round at last―post oaks are dropping their acorns!
A year ago, our old, on-site native post oaks showed no signs of acorn production. Campus trees were inspected, as well as two large stands in Caddo parish. This was troublesome because the continued diminution of the campus post oak population necessitates a germination project. Back in September, our sights were set on the two old post oaks near the Sam Peters Building, simply because acorn clusters were identified. Pictured below are the first participants for our germination project.

One acorn already started to sprout! Hopefully we found it at the right time. These 10 acorns are in the dirt and watered in. Let's see what happens! |
