That’s great! I’m experimenting with growing acorns into seedlings to give away. Acorns can sometimes have poor germination or get eaten if you scatter them about. Then again it’s a lot easier so if even a few grow this can be a good approach.
Yeah this is mostly for people with large acerage. I live in a semi-rural town and there’s a lot of money to be had in tax write offs spreading trees on their own disused farmland. They don’t care if they all grow, they want the least amount of work possible, and every tree that comes up in a given year is an additional sum of money (I don’t really understand the program, but it seems to be very fine grain, down to individual trees or like a per m2 density or something, and the type of tree matters, oaks are worth more than birch for example). I could probably charge for them if I really wanted to, even without being sprouted, but I’d rather they just grow.
So far (10 years) I’ve given away about 20 5 gallon buckets worth, acorns only (no sticks, leaves, rocks, or loose caps), about half of that to people I know who spread them before the leaves fell. Good for nature and wildlife :)
