[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 771822, member: 637"] Novaman, I have tried to order more bareroot trees, and when I do, they tell me that they have the small acorn type. Now that I have searched for the name of them, I cannot find it. Here is a video that is showing how to collect acorns. I guess this is for people who have never been off of pavement. But........ I just wanted you to see the size of the acorns. When I held them in my had, I could only hold three of them. [url=http://www.ehow.com/video_2329348_gather-burr-oak-acorns.html]http://www.ehow.com/video_2329348_gathe ... corns.html[/url] I found a site where it says there are actually three varieties of Bur Oaks. ( Sorry for the big words to ID them!) 1. Var. depressa (Nutt.) Engelm. (Q. mandanensis Rydb.) – mostly along the western margin of the Great Plains; small trees or shrubs with smaller and less fringed cups and corky twigs. 2. over most of the species range; trees with large thick cups. 3. Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota; trees with thinner and smaller cups. This is sometimes considered within the typical variety. None of these words are the names they use to identify the smaller acorns when purchasing the trees. The trees in Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota, are the trees as large as they are in the Southern parts of the country, just with smaller acorns? Chuckie [/QUOTE]
