I'm Travis Steglich and we are planting acorns
to grow Oak trees. What I've got here right now are Spanish Oaks and we are going to put
just a whole bunch of them in the top of this pot so that we've only got one to water and
I am pushing them down so that about half of the acorn is in the soil and the other
half is basically exposed to surface. I am giving them enough room so that when they
sprout, they will be able to grow into individual plants which we will be able to transplant
out to another pot when they do in fact sprout. When we did the float test, none of these
Spanish Oak floated but I am here to tell you that they will germinate. Just because
they didn't do the float test, it doesn't mean they are bad seeds. We are going to find
out because we are planting them. As I was saying having them all in one place and in
one pot to be transplanted once they sprout, is a pretty good deal and is a very efficient
use of your labor and your moisture and your pot.
