Nov-AprilChestnut Oak Seedlings are young trees characterized by their distinctive serrated leaves with rounded lobes and acorn-producing capabilities, typical of mature chestnut oak trees.
They allow you to create an ideal landscape that has the potential to remain intact for generations to come. They can also help keep soil erosion to a minimum from planting, as they don't necessarily go dormant in the fall.

They will grow into this type of tree if they grow to a tremendous height. A mature tree can grow to about 100 feet tall, with branches extending dozens of feet in all directions. More importantly, the tree's root system can produce as much as five times as large as the crown system. This means you can have effective root systems that cover acres of land with just a handful of trees.
Chestnut Oak Seedlings Mature Quickly
Typically, it takes this type of tree about 20 years to get close to its full height and maturity. However, some trees can start producing their acorns within three years. In addition to providing you with an easy source of free tree growth, you can begin to attract a variety of wildlife to the area.

Plant Reproduction
Chestnut Oak seedlings spread through acorns, wind, and wildlife
Plant seedlings in early spring or fall when temperatures are mild. Choose a well-drained site with the proper sunlight for the tree species. Dig a hole that's deep and wide enough to support but not hamper the root system without bending or crowding the roots. Place the seedling in the hole, ensuring the root collar (where the roots meet the stem) is level with or slightly above the soil surface. Fill the hole with soil, and pack it around the roots to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the moisture consistent, especially during the first few years, to help the roots establish. Put a 2-4 inch layer of mulch around the base, but keep it away from the trunk to retain moisture and prevent weed growth. Protect the seedlings from pests and physical damage with suitable guards or fencing. Tree seedlings will thrive and grow into strong, healthy trees with proper care.
