The [seed sowing planner](https://bluewhaletrees.com/tools/sowing/index.html.md) turns each page's sowing advice into dates for your fall or spring. Acorns and chestnuts are alive and die if they dry. [White-oak-group acorns](https://bluewhaletrees.com/articles/red-oaks-and-white-oaks/index.html.md) should be planted the week they arrive, red-oak-group acorns want one to three months of [cold, damp storage](https://bluewhaletrees.com/articles/planting-acorns-nuts-and-seed/index.html.md) and most nuts a full winter of it. Most small seed keeps dry until sowing, though pawpaw and magnolia seed must stay moist. Acorns, nuts and seed ship year-round. Sow them under hardware cloth, or [the squirrels dig them up](https://bluewhaletrees.com/articles/protecting-trees-from-animals/index.html.md).
