Oaks for Acorns
Fred’s Chinkabur - Chinquapin Oak x Bur Oak. These apical-dominant trees grow fast and bear young… as little as 3-4 years. Makes a large, low-tannin acorn great as hog feed. Bareroot seedlings, 8-14”
McDaniel - a cross of Bur oak x English oak (with some Quercus alba no doubt in the mix too). These hybrid oaks are quite vigorous and make beautiful trees that absolutely dump large, low-tannin acorns. Bareroot seedlings, 8-12”
Ooti - a cross between Bur oak and Swamp Chestnut Oak (Quercus bicolor), or maybe Chinquapin Oak. Ooti is the Maidu word for acorn. This variety grows upright and fast and makes a big acorn similar to a bur oak, with low tannins. Very similar to Fred’s Chinkabur. Excellent for hog feed. Bareroot seedlings, 14”
Idaho Sweet - a Bur Oak from outside its range in the northwest of Idaho. Probably a hybrid. Makes a smaller bur oak type nut, which as the name suggests is low-tannin and has a flavor of subtle sweetness to it. Bareroot seedlings, 8”
Hershey Bur Oak - Quercus macrocarpa. From the beautiful bur oak trees John Hershey planted beside the Quaker Meeting. One was recently cut down. The acorns these grew from were about the size of a golf ball, and round too. Bareroot seedlings, 8-16”
Bur Oak - Quercus macrocarpa. 2-3yr bareroot seedlings, 20-40” tall
English Oak - Quercus robur. 2-3yr bareroot seedlings, 16-28” tall
White oak - Quercus alba. Bareroot seedlings, 6-8”
Rock Oak, or Chestnut Oak - Quercus montana. Large, tannic acorns in the white oak group. Drop early, by late summer. Hardy, strong trees. Bareroot seedlings, 6-10”
Quercus prinoides x Q. virginiana - now these are WEIRD... Quercus prinoides, aka southern live oak, has a range constricted to the hot and humid southeastern coast. Quercus prinoides, the dwarf chinquapin oak, however, has a range stretching along the Appalachians and into Maine. Will these hybrid seedlings result in a cold hardy live oak? Who knows! But they’re cool. Bareroot seedlings, 2-6”
Quercus nuttalli x Q. palustris - another neat oak hybrid. Bareroot seedlings, 4-10”
Fred’s Chinkabur - Chinquapin Oak x Bur Oak. These apical-dominant trees grow fast and bear young… as little as 3-4 years. Makes a large, low-tannin acorn great as hog feed. Bareroot seedlings, 8-14”
