So last year I collect 150 or so acorns that I kept in the fridge that sprouted and that I planted in the spring when it was still cold out. It may or may not have gotten below 32 after I planted them. And by planting I mean taking a shovel, putting a split in the ground, putting them in and stepping the split closed. It is a field that I planted them in that the grasses and weeds grew pretty high, 3 feet maybe? Any chance any of them survived? I am just wondering if it is worth trying to do it again this year? I have a few variety of oaks near me that produce lots of acorns at a young age and am wondering if I should try and collect the acorns again this year. Is there a better way to do it? The field is all overgrown and gets knocked down by the snow in the winter and spring. I want to try and convert it to woods. I happen to have some maple seedlings, not sure I should plant those out there or not. I am thinking I dont want a bunch of maples..
