I wrote about the wonders of oaks in a previous issue. TL;DR: If you don’t have an oak, plant one; if you already have one, plant another. With that established, today I’d like to touch on what kind of oak to plant and how to plant it. First, a little celebrity worship:
“Quercus prinoides (dwarf chinkapin oak). New Hampshire and Florida west to Iowa and Oklahoma.” Guess this is the oak for me! We are blessed to have many oaks in Lempster.
There appears to be a species for every disposition! As for Lempster, I'd be curious to know whether there's a diversity of oak species there, or one really dominant type...?
Great read! Especially loved the inclusion of “Great Oaks from little acorns grow” 😉
We've seen it happen with our own tiny acorns.
Yes we have
Thank you for sharing so much I’ve been meaning to research or didn’t realize was lacking in my diet.
