Acorns, Nuts & Seed

Fifty-seven of the species we grow are also offered as acorns, nuts or seed to sow: eight as acorns, nine as nuts and forty as seed packets, collected from the same proven parent trees as the saplings. Acorns and nuts are alive and cannot be dried like vegetable seed: white-oak-group acorns should be planted the week they arrive, red-oak-group acorns want one to three months of cold, damp storage and most nuts a full winter of it, and the smaller seed keeps dry until sowing. Acorns, nuts and seed ship year-round; sow them under hardware cloth, or the squirrels dig them up.
