I'm not sure what's going on with my Concordia. They are the slowest growing of all the hybrids I have. Whether bare root or started from acorns. Also have had the highest mortality rate. 🤔

It seems very common. That said there are 2 local whites that I've never seen fail to produce every single year. Interestingly, both trees are completely separated from other whites, and I mean by miles.

Any updates on this?

Those sound interesting. Have any been stand-outs for growth rate and nut production?

I would assume they will be some portion of the parent trees and probably will eventually revert back to SWO. May take a few generations though. I've considered filling in-between my normal oak spacing with these columnar oaks to increase the mast density, with the eventual removal of them when...

And Pennsylvania

Ha! I think its more of an addiction!😄

How do you guys keep the bees off your eatin' apples? Mine aren't close to being ready to be picked, but the bees are ruining them.

Yes, but the burs I've collected didn't put out a radicle until late winter, unlike white and swamp white.

I bought this oak about 5 years ago. It should have been with some shumard x northern red crosses or possibly Nuttall x Pin crosses. It doesn't look like anything else I have planted. When I check with "Picture This", it tells me it's an Overcup, but when I look at Overcup pictures, it doesn't...

I picked up a couple of these from Bolu Tree Nursery for this fall. They just came yesterday. White x Chinkapin cross. What pretty little leaves! Anyone else have this hybrid?

I may put them in my pole-barn or basement.

I like bear meat, especially as a slow cooked roast. Goes great in chili, too!

I have a 10'x10' chain linked fence area that I can put them in. I thought about putting straw around them, but wondered if that would invite mice.

Our gun season doesn't start until after Thanksgiving. I don't muzzleloader hunt anymore. Assuming I don't get something in archery, I'll probably take a Rem custom shop model seven MS in .308 this year. It went last year, but we never connected.
