Crazy idea maybe | White Oak - DCO

[TreesuitSC]

Kind of addicted to grafting trees now. You guys on this forum have only made things worse. Anyway…

Was wondering if anyone has ever grafted trees in the white oak family?

Curios if you could graft a Dwarf Chinkipin Oak onto a white oak rootstock.

Not sure if there would even be a benefit or not.

Was thinking that it could grow higher and not as a shrub.

I'm an oak addict, but haven't got into grafting them, yet.
Honest question, because I have no experience with DCO, but why not just go with a standard chinkapin oak, or a Concordia?

I have just heard that the DCO is a fast producer and I already have a lot of white oak and swamp chestnut oak.

Thought I may could top work a few with DCO just to see if it would produce fast.

We don’t have the chinkapin here as far as I know but I have planted some. They are still young. Excited about them though.


Just recently learned of the Concordia. I don’t have any but can’t wait to get some.
