View source for Acorns and oaks

== Collecting acorns ==

Get a lot of acorns.  The fresher the better — even green.

Make sure that worms haven't bored a hole in them.

Put them in a bucket of water.

Throw away the ones that float.

Keep those that sink.

== Letting them get cold ==

2x6" frame with chicken wire on the top to keep the squirrels away.

== Transplanting ==

Get the whole taproot and a big root ball.

Early in spring before the leaves unfold or in the fall after the sapling is dormant.
