Larry,
Great tree box! I've been wanting to build one a few years now. I have a few questions though. How much sun should the box receive? When Is the best time to transplant and do you use the same soil mixture if you pot them?

I grow trees every year as do many of you. This is one method I use, I"ll call it my tree box. Acorns, nuts, etc., are placed in the soil just pressing them into the surface in the autumn. Then I cover them with leaf debris for the winter. After the dormancy period they sprout in Spring just like on the Forest floor. My success rate is above 90%. I mix my own soil with cow manure for a natural fertilizer. After the trees out grow my box I transplant them. This year I'm growing 7 Burr Oaks from Texas, that I picked on my way to Colorado this fall. Many White Oaks, some Hickory, Red Oak, Swamp Chestnut Oak, Chestnut Oak, Live Oak, Darlington Oak, etc. I really enjoy doing this, done it for years. Here's some photos.
