Fractalhead Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Hi, I remember someone was recently looking for oak acorns but a search for oak + acorns didn't reveal the post. I can get lots of acorns if you want them, and/or young oak trees (which are coming up everywhere under the old oak tree).Email me if you are interested.Cheers,Fractal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 I know they don't really like it up here, but I'd like to try anyway. Where did you collect them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hows it going, finding it useful?sadly we don't have it yet. Had to put it off for at least 6 months due to some unexpected expenses at Wandjina. It is definitely on the top of the list though and not losing sight of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fractalhead Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 I haven't collected them yet but will if people want them. There are quite a few old oak trees on the "Oak Lawn" at uni. One of the trees actually has bare soil under it and this has allowed the acorns of past years to germinate and grow into little oak trees. I presume they will transplant OK if people want them. As for the acorns, they are still mostly unripe at this stage but appear to be close to maturity. Also available from the uni gardens are Ginkgo biloba cuttings and Catha edulis seeds Cheers,Fractal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squiresk Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 So Fractal, you sending him some, or shall I?Kai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fractalhead Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 I can do it as soon as they ripen up. not sure how long that will be - maybe a couple of weeks, probably more. If you have some that are ready to send straight away, then maybe you should send him some. I'll be collecting them anyway to send to at least Torsten, so I really don't mind. I guess it just depends how urgently IM wants them.Fractal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaced Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 The Balingup tree farm has lots of deciduous nut bearing species and is bound to have acorns. On Satuday the 26th of April there will be a small farm field day which could be interesting, but then there's always something interesting happening in Balingup. Last time I was at the arboretum I was circled by some ferocious looking sheep which didn't seem to happy about me rading their english mulberry tree.
