Concordia Oaks and Swamp / Bur Hybrids

[Teeder]

I'm not sure what's going on with my Concordia. They are the slowest growing of all the hybrids I have. Whether bare root or started from acorns. Also have had the highest mortality rate.

I've noticed the same thing with the Concordias I planted. I ordered a pile of them the first year MDC offered them. After a couple years I started to think they were a bust at my Southern Wisconsin location. I started pulling cages off some of them to use on more promising trees. It seemed to take 5 years before they really started to put on meaningful growth. The last 3 years or so they've done great. Almost all have started producing acrons. This summer I was looking for and finding the Concordias I had given up on and re caging them. Time well spent.

HUGE acorn crop this year at my place at the lake. I got about six or eight huge Burr Oaks that may be 150 years old. Tough trees that stand up to big storms that come across the lake. Great crop of large acorns this yeas...they are everywhere. I'm thinking I should collect these acorns and heel stomp them into the soil at Deertopia. any suggestions on doing so? Better to wait till spring. TIA I could get thousands in a few hours.

This is the last chance to collect these acorns....as we have sold this place and will downsize to another place about ten miles away. Been a great place to live....but it is time. Good decision on our move.....if not a bit painful too.

Foggy white oaks will send down a root in the fall with moisture.

I’ve got both planted on my farms . I’m hoping they really take off in the next 3 yrs. I should have a lot of acorns soon !

Did you ever get around to this?

The Concordia I got were acorns.

They are not a jack and the bean stalk deal, but man do they look happy/ healthy!
