If pollination was good this year, there are piles of peduncles that will be holding some acorns this fall.

Growth from Concordia acorns...very swamp white esque Growing in trays to see if I can locate ones with the best fall color for the driveway to the cabin. They should make a nice companion alternating with the albas up the drive on both sides.

Does that have anything to do with snowfall? N levels on a given year? I've noticed that plays a factor when locating eastern gamagrass for seed collection. The years with heavy snows late lend to very robust growth.

Sawtooth seem to do better further south. I've watched some for several years up here in northern MO and have never seen the vast amount of mast produced here like you guys get in the south. Anyone else confirm this observation?

Here's what I believe to be a Deamii oak that is grafted to that concordia next to the alba.

I should have some this fall pending pollination. That grafted concordia also has a burxchinkapin hybrid on it producing....so the possibly hybrids are endless. The alba growing alongside has some epicormic branching going on that I'm going to let manifest to graft more hybrids on as well.

Really growing into an acorn producer this year.

A favorite of mine for ice storms.

Put 27 Concordia oak acorns in potting soil today. They came from a grafted Concordia oak tree I made from 3 trees with the best fall color. It’s growing with a regular white oak (Quercus alba) along with a bur x chinkapin hybrid graft that’s also producing acorns. The expected cross as some...

Change to one buck limit for MO If that wont work, Thanksgiving start for rifle.

I've noticed that on some bucks and not others. Seems to be at least somewhat linked to genetics....IMO from personal experience and no exact data points for a comparison. Here’s the buck at 3 on the left on October 5th with a buck on the right that’s 4 last year. Here’s his forehead this...

Mud runs can be another great way to provide accountability to stay in shape. These events are brutal if not prepared, and this is the best one for obstacles I've been to yet. Conquer the Gauntlet-Stairway to Heaven
