Troubles Trees
5 year old buck +
I have looked several times to buy a variety of acorns but the only place I came across acorns for sale, other than Amazon and Etzy kind of places (yuk), was Tennessee Wholesale Nursery which gives a VERY long description of what acorns are... but never identifies what kind of Oaks it comes from. I have searched in several directions like buy Acorns for squirrels or Acorns for feeding deer or livestock and see them in bulk but not really what I am looking for. Maybe such a place doesn't exist but I would think Nurseries that sell Oak seedlings would offer them, I just didn't find any, maybe I just didn't look in the right places either so I figured it didn't hurt to ask here.
I always strive for diversity in all my plantings and only have access to a very limited amount of different Oaks to get acorns from. Looking online at seedlings there are many more types of oaks that are conducive to my hardiness zone, they are just not native to my area and I would like to change that. Oaks like Nuttall, Shumard, Chinkapin, SWO, Sawtooth interest me particularly but honestly I would like to plant 10 of each type (genus?) that would grow in zone 5 or colder.
