Concordia Oaks and Swamp / Bur Hybrids

[bwoods11]

The bur gambel oaks didn’t work for me in Minnesota. I’d consider trying them in Iowa/Missouri?

They are nice plugs, & I’ve bought bur oaks from them … with success. Their best tree is the common wild apple in my opinion.

I snagged 10 Concordia from MDC this morning. I'll plant less and try to baby these ones. As soon as the Idaho site opens I want to try the Bur-Gamble and Bur-English crosses.

The swamp burr oaks from Kelly’s planted as little bare roots in 2023 are doing awesome. Very high success rate for me with weed mats and 5’ tubes. Only failures I can think of are the ones that had tubes/stakes broken by deer or bears and got eaten to the ground.

Burr oak gamble from Idaho have failed in my woods. I am giving up on them. Plugs for oaks are worthless to me. I have had oak plugs from Itasca greenhouse and they have sucked too. Bare roots have been much better. I direct seeded some white oak a couple days ago. Hopefully those work.

Not the best luck with oak plugs ? Hmm, I’ve never had that issue (except the Bur Gambel).

I have not ordered from Itasca for many years, but I used to like their plugs …

So would you buy from Idaho again?

I would I don’t think there was anything wrong with their product and I wouldn’t mind trying their wild apples but I’m more in a maintenance mode now replacing trees that have died and focusing more on pears because they seem to be less maintenance in my area.

I can’t get through to the Idaho seedlings store.

Tried calling and e mail.
