[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 3720789, member: 12277"] I think you answered your own question partly by saying you wanted at least 3 varieties. Planting trees for wildlife is like investing money in that respect, don't put all your eggs in one basket. When I was choosing oaks I read up on what the fast growers were then next looked at the conditions I was planting in. After those two requirements were met, I bought enough trees to fill the areas up and divided the total number of trees across the various species. Here's what I ended up with: Bur, Sawtooth, Dwarf Chinkapin, White, Swamp White & Shumard Oak I only put the Swamp White oaks in a low spot I have that wouldn't be suitable for any other oak. One of them has done especially good there - in spite of a buck ripping it up good a few years back! [/QUOTE]
