Concordia Oaks and Swamp / Bur Hybrids

My first acorns from a schuette's!
This tree is about 5 years old. Didn't have catkins this spring so I wasn't really looking.

3 of my schuette's have acorns this year!

Check out this Bebbs. It's in its 3rd summer and looks great. Acorn from OakSeeds.
I have a couple Bebbs from different sources and they all are out growing most other varieties that I have.

From a perspective of all the trees I’ve planted, I seem to get the most pride in a successful oak tree!

Some of those are producing acorns . I think the next 4-5 years I’ll have a bunch producing acorns & it will help my farms !

I feel the same way.

Oaks are the long game planting a tree that could still be alive in 500 years gives a sense of accomplishment. My apple trees in my area are not likely to be very long lived my pears maybe a 100 years maybe a bit more with luck but the oaks may be there a long time.

Quick walk around a 40 ac farm in Minnesota. The hybrids put on some more growth !

Grabbed a couple pics today of Concordia bareroots planted this spring. The first one looks very happy. The second one seems a bit stressed as some insect must be nibbling on the leaf edges...the leaves were much larger 2 months ago
Nonetheless I expect it will be ok
