Concordia Oaks and Swamp / Bur Hybrids

[b116757]

Glad I’m not the only one that receives good help like that on occasion.

For any of you that have Concordia, what does the fall colors look like?
Does this look like a Concordia?

Here's the same leaf with a chinkapin on the right. And then what I believe is a burenglish. Look how big these leaves are!

I’m anxious to see how the Concordia Oaks do in Missouri on good moist soils. Swamp White Oak and Swamp Bur Oak as well !

April is go time !

They're doing well up on the adair/gara loam soils on the hill ground just south of you.

They're only going to do better on the nodaway silt loam creek bottom ground.

Mine are red leaved

Pretty much that exactly.

Have any pics of the red leaved Concordia?

Unfortunately I don't have any. I can check inside some of the tubes to see if any leaves are still hanging.

I'm assuming the colors have faded. I'm not sure if that is a thing or not. I know when I saw these same trees in late September they were much more red.

Mine just arrived from MDC

I have 25 coming from MDC later this month. Unfortunately, I waited too long to place orders for tree tubes that are now back ordered by 7-8 weeks.

I really love that the Concordias hold their leaves all winter long.

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 point is going to be something wild with all that miscegenation.

That’s a nice spot for those ! The leaves holding late, is a real plus !

I’ve got 25 going in the ground next weekend in Missouri. Plus some Red Oaks & Chinkapin.

When a bare root is planted. What do the roots do? Does it regrow a tap root?

Likely not, probably varies from species to species some I think this is why direct seeded oaks are superior to potted in drought resistance and really overall speed of growth but some species transplant better than others.

Oakseeds has some great posts/threads on all things direct seeding acorns

I have a Concordia oak planted at my home that I grew from an acorn. This is its 9th growing year. It's 12-14ft tall. Has produced acorns for 3 years now. Quite a few the past 2 years.
