I can't see any bristles on the leaves, as would be expected with the red oaks. Are you sure it isn't a white oak?

I am not sure, I just thought that the leaves look more like a red oak family oak because the white oak has much more rounded shaped leaf corners. By the mulch I put down, there had been some Pin oak acorns in the wagon with it last fall, but, I thought I had emptied it. I don't think that is a Pin oak baby, so I likely did empty the cart.

It just may be a Q. Lyrata, which is a white oak family oak. I am really disappointed in myself that that I couldn't say for sure which oak it was.

Tough to say. Overall Bur. One leaf looks like bicolor; another kind of like overcup.

Dax

Yeah, it is a confusing one, no adult Burr or Lyrata around unless they are in the heavy thickets around here. But, Dax are you sure it's a white oak family oak? I see no bristles. If you say yes it is I'll keep it. It could've come with some free ground up wood chips I get at a local compost site, so the source could've come from up in the mountains or a good ways from me. Thanks for your input Daxman.

Yep, it's a white.

Dax

I'm sorry to bug you again Dax, but, this benefits people besides me. I saw small green acorns on a Q. Alba, and a GWer wants some of them. Will these small acorns get bigger? I know they'll get tan/brown, but they look too small, they are high up in the tree, maybe they are bigger than they look from the car near the ground, would you pick yet? That is if I can get to a lower branch anyways. My Ch oak acorns are full sized already, but they bear early. Again, sorry for bugging you now, it's for someone else on GW.

Size isn't the issue but I'd bring pruners to cut thru several. If you can get get the caps off of them w/o tearing the acorn then you'll be ok. Then they should be laid on racks in shade (I use my garage on racks with the door open for good airflow) for 3-4 weeks with the caps on, that is... unless it's not too much of a job to get the caps off, prior.

Dax

looks like Q. Alba to me.

Thanks Dax and Logan, time will tell for sure on the White oak volunteer. I picked 8-9 of the Q. Alba acorns today. I got the full size ones with no holes. They still have caps, but I saw a few empty caps on the ground. I knew I had to act fast most limbs are up high, and this is an oak, Beech tree area, that's had mature trees there since I was in diapers and long before that, the critters will be on it like blue bonnet as soon as they are close to ripe. Thanks again guys, Dax, I am hoping Daisy is coming along well.

very slowly but yep.

Thank you Poaky,

Dax

Dax, how's that little girl doing now? My brother picked up a new dog (lost) from the road, and my Ginger took an instant dislike to her, she was a small dog that reminded me of the "Toto" dog from Wizard of oz. Little and furry. I liked her. Thankfully her owner came looking for her in our area, and my brother was outside, and they were reunited. Ginger is the reason I haven't gotten another dog, she isn't very affectionate, but, she will be jealous if I get another pooch. I took care of my best friends 3 Pitt bulls when they were on vacation, and I love her dogs, especially her indoor dog Brutus. Pit bulls can be so affectionate. She has 2 outside and one indoors. She would have them all indoors but 1 of them can't hold her bowels, so she keeps one of the other ones outside with this other dog for company. Her inside dog Brutus is inside because he got attacked by another dog they no longer have. This other dog bit into his neck so bad he nearly died. This other dog was his biological father, and was not neutered. I guess that some breeds or some dogs when they reach a certain age will challenge even their own kin for dominance, if not neutered. I may be overgeneralizing here. But, all 3 of my BFF's Pitt bulls are big ole Love Bugs. Spaying/neutering is very important in assuring good temperment for some breeds. Again, Dax, hope that "dittle girl" gets better soon. From poaky1 Give her another kiss on the schnoz from me.

Me again, if she is doing well, and now doing physical therapy, I would THINK she will be making a (hopefully) full recovery.

Hi Poaker,

Would you send a message to me from my profile? She's doing okay but I'll tell you much more.

Thanks,

Dax

I will try.

I sent it, but, how will I receive it? I never got/sent a message on my profile.

I was just thinking the same thing. I replied...

Click on your profile then click "Edit Profile" upper right on your picture box then on the left side of the page click on "Advanced Settings" and at the bottom of the long page you'll see this.

Just be sure the option to "allow anyone to message me" is selected.
