If we took a nationwide poll of deer enthusiasts and asked which oak has provided more successful hunts than any other, white oak would undoubtedly be on the top of the list. Found from the Gulf Coast all the way up and into Canada on a variety of site types, the true white oak is known for its timber quality and wildlife value. In our neck of the woods, the medium to large sized, fairly low tannin acorns begin their descent in mid October and can provide a quality, easy meal for deer and other critters through November on good years.
We have spent a great deal of time and effort on this species to provide the public with seedlings from parent trees that exhibit traits land managers and our target quarry prefer. White oak trees and their acorns are extremely variable in quality, and we go the extra mile to provide seedlings from about twenty parent trees (out of more than we care to count) in hopes of passing on genetics that wildlife enthusiasts prefer. Any moderate to well drained upland or bottomland soil with an acid to neutral pH (our parent trees soil’s range from 4.8-7.0) should be a welcome home to our white oaks.

I am very impressed by the quality of your oak tree seedlings and the way in which they were shipped. They are now carefully planted and seem to be doing well. I should mention that I have them "caged" in order to protect them from our ever growing herd of deer as well as the bunnies. Thank you.

the chickasaw plums (10) I planted them, watered them for 3 days after planting.
5 days later 8 of the 10 plants were dead. the plants were long and very skinny (as thick as regular spaghetti)
Also I used the grow tubes
