Back in 2019 I planted my first batch of acorns. They just sat in a pot in the garden over the winter, because apparently they need the cold to make them germinate. The spring brought me some tiny tree joy. I planted some more the following year, and again last autumn. There are no sprouts at the moment, but time will tell. The others however have become a miniature forest down the edge of the path:
Some are still tiny twigs but the tallest one is at least a foot tall (I think this photo is from 2021). When they are strong enough I will look for somewhere they can be planted out.
Linking back to the A to Z Challenge.
Stay safe. Be kind. Plant a tree.
I rely on the squirrels to plant acorns. They do a very good job.
ReplyDeleteI have quite a collection of oak trees in various growth stages thanks to whichever animals bury the acorns :-)
