Asset Overview

These were collected for relocation (planting). I am wondering how long and how many trees it would take to remove my own carbon footprint. Two of these bags along with two bags of walnuts were used to plant both sides of 26 miles of a county road. I estimate 800 acorns, 400 walnuts, a >60% germination on the oaks, > 10-40% yield on the walnuts. Water activates germination along with cold. Sometimes the acorns are sorted out, put into gallon containers with good drainage, and rinsed daily. Other times, hand fulls, throwing scoops, and sling shots can disperse them so they are not easily found. Feeding local jay birds is a very good way to have many hidden for us and they don't eat all that they put out if they get gallons of them.
