A couple weeks back, the scrub oaks in this area had tons and tons of acorns. Which reminds me that I'm supposed to send some off to someone. I keep forgetting. I rarely see a scrub oak with a single trunk, and rarely see any of that size, although if I bushwhacked more, I might find more. That one was sort of open-grown, which is a bit odd in itself. Here in the NJ Pine Barrens there are two species of non-tree oaks: scrub oak and dwarf chestnut oak. Dwarf Chestnut oak is quite uncommon, but scrub oak is everywhere, in almost all areas of the pine barrens. Barry

Do you come across acorns of the scrub oaks? I will be growing 400-500 seedlings of a number of small oak species in containers and have been looking for a source of Q. ilicifolia seed. Greg.
