I've listened to a lot of "old timers" over the years,, and I can't say that I've ever heard them regret buying land....it was only ever selling land that they lamented about.
One benefit of them growing in those bags is you can wait till they leaf out to properly ID them and then plant where they need to go. The transplant shock should be avoided.
That's a long time for a swamp white oak to put out 12 acorns. 5 year old trees can beat that in my area.
The variance is interesting from region to region.
Northern red, white, bur, shingle, chinkapin, black, swamp white
I've watched the sawtooths planted at an MDC area next to northern reds and the reds out produced them the several years I checked.
I'd mix them together.
Some of those oaks will start to produce acorns in ~5 years given the right circumstances. It'll be several years down the road tho before any measurable amount will be produced.
White oak seems to be the slowest to come into nut bearing age.
What Native Hunter said.
Also, I took some out of the fridge and ate them in early March....I thought they were still a pretty good apple. Not the best I've eaten, but I'd eat them again.
How long they last and that they're late dropping adds to their value for deer.
Makes sense given that women tend to be geared towards resource use and not production.
It stands to reason that is a HUGE issue going in partnerships, especially in today's world with so many divorces.
They do exist. The ACCF has some and they’re back crossing them for further resistance.

The Opal was about cleared out when I went back for more. There’s Cosmic Crisp and Envy along side it also. The Opal that were left were somewhat mushy…may be the only reason those last few were still sitting there to begin with. Honeycrisp must have been a close second since it was about...
