2022 Acorn Watch


 

We have more post oak (Quercus stellata) acorns to add to our on-going germination project. These acorns were collected this past week in the Piney Woods region of East Texas, south of Jacksonville. They've since been potted, so now we wait to see who sprouts and who doesn't.


These water oak (Quercus nigra) acorns were collected at the same time from the same property. They have been potted as well. The arboretum is currently home to seven mature, on-site native water oaks, but we do not currently have any young water oaks in the collection.
