[QUOTE="WDS, post: 669608, member: 1478"] Nope. Like I said, they were only 1' tall when planted as seedlings. They were not container trees. They have grown to about 3' in two years. The max height is supposed to be 8-12' tall, with a sprawling crown and prolific small acorns. I planted them in isolated areas on field edges on our Perry Co property just to see what they would do and have something for my 3 girls to hunt over with thier children.......in about 20 years. I would suggest that you keep the area around your tree protectors clear of any growth at least to the drip line on trees that are the height of yours. I am keeping a 3' diameter "growth free" around our chinkapins. IN fact, you can pick up some material at Home Depot/Lowes to place around the bottom of your protectors that will inhibit weed/grass growth. Use large framing staples to pin the material down....that will usually do the trick. I also keep peripheral areas growth free with glyphosate. Rain will pass through the material as will fertilizer.
