Here is a brilliant tool to make for getting them high up acorns from the older mature trees, its a coat hanger taped onto the end of a stick, so simple and effective! Now's the time to be getting out and about and collecting the seeds that mother nature is dropping, get them planted up in pots over winter and cover them with leaf mulch for insulation to stop freezing. you can also cover the pot with a board or something to stop mice and birds digging them up for a snack, remove early spring nex

I'm challenging you to grow a native oak tree from an acorn this fall! It can be a fun and fulfilling activity, and it's a great one to get the kids involved too. Native oaks are incredibly valuable for wildlife. They support tons of insects, mammals, and birds. #oaks #nativeoaks #nativeplants #quercus #plants #gardening #oaktree #acorns #growth | Andrew The Arborist
