[QUOTE="treefarmer, post: 3569918, member: 10041"] Before you buy so many seedlings, check with your area forester, Ag. Extension agent, or look at nearby properties to see what oaks they recommend. If you plant any tree on the wrong site it will not thrive. On my ridge tops Chestnut and Post oaks do well because they are drought tolerant, 50-100 yards away on the mid and lower slopes White Oaks do well because there is more moisture. I have planted a number of trees and shrubs expecting great things only to be very disapponted when after several tries, the trees withered and died. Frequently foresters will recommend a mix of trees for a site, to insure against total failure. Sawtooths bear acorns in maybe 5 years, regular oaks take maybe 25 years.
