2014 planting update, 3/24/14

Red oak planted in containers:


One month after planting, the tallest reached 2 and a half inches. Those planted in the star trays are only about an inch. I'm not sure why the difference, but I like the progress on these. The roots will start to wrap around the bottom of the container or try to poke its way out the drain holes. I've had good success with pin oaks the past two seasons with this size of cup and will get these in the ground after another 6 weeks or so.

When we get back to actual spring-like temperatures for good, these will be outside for the duration.

Also in the ground this past weekend: 15 coffeetree seeds and another 10 black oak acorns.
