Native and Non-Native Oaks

What’d they charge for the bagged trees? Id like a few like that but they seem pretty rare, at least locally, in the hybrids I desire.

yeah that's exactly why I drove almost an hour because you just don't find these. They were roughly $40 a piece, and at that height I felt that was a pretty damn good price.

It would be a cool experiment to plant seedlings of similar species next to the bagged trees and document growth over the years.

I would postulate the seedlings would surpass them in growth in under 10 years.

Interesting and I'd wonder too. Sure you're going to lose some growth as its transplanted, but I guess I'm not sure I could see the seedlings catching up? Any science to support this?

No , but it’s what I believe .

I have some potted pin oaks…..they are pathetic.

Hopefully you will have a better experience.
