Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak acorns in water for 24 hours to help break dormancy.
Discard any acorns that float, as they are likely not viable.

Sowing:

Sow acorns in the fall or early spring directly outdoors or in containers.
Plant acorns 1-2 inches deep in well-prepared soil.
Space the seeds 12-18 inches apart if planting directly in the ground.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Germination typically occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Protect seeds from rodents and other animals that may dig them up.

Transplanting:

If starting in containers, transplant seedlings to their permanent location when they are 6-12 inches tall.
Choose a site with enough space for the tree to mature.
Plant seedlings at the same depth they were in the container and water thoroughly.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly during the first few years to establish a strong root system.
Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune to remove any dead or damaged branches and to shape the tree as needed.

Happy Gardening!
