I got 50 from MDC a few yrs ago. About 30 of them were 5' by the following fall and out of the tree tubes. :)

Are they producing yet

The fastest I have ever seen one produce was in about 10 years or so. I have a bunch of them naturally on my place and a neighbor converted a corn field into trees and row planted all sorts of oaks. Right on the edge is a chinkapin that has produced a few acorns now for a few years. They tend to mature and drop real early on my place - well ahead of other white, burr and northern red oaks on my place. Lots of critters eat them because of their small size - turkey can clean them up pretty quickly. I rarely have a chance to hunt over them because they fall so early (before my October 1st opener date).

I have plenty Of the native Chinkapins on my place. If you want seed next yr you are welcome to have as much as you want (if they produce, I had almost no Burr or Chinkapin acorns this yr but lots of the Red oak acorns).
