Plant them even though the ground is cold and it freezes at night???

the deer need that extra green of the sprout

if the leaf has opened -too late to plant

It's a strange fall for sure. Leaves are growing on maple trees on Islands on the big river.
And I dug some red worms the other day

Very odd for sure

These are acorns I sprouted in potting soil in the fridge

If my Apple seeds sprout I'm going to plant them in some 3 ' sections of 6" pvc to not limit the tap root by spring

I'd try that if I were you

If you have room I would pot them and put them under a grow light tell spring up pot as needed. But that jus a guessing and may be the wrong thing to do for trees

Why are you planting apples from seed?

You must have missed this thread last month.

I don't care about growing an apple true to parent tree. Just quantity for deer property's

Might be a good idea to contact your extension service Gary.
just

Are the acorns from an oak in the white oak group? They sprout in the fall and continue growing in the spring.

Ok, I thought this thread was about odd things this fall
My bad.

I plant the acorns directly in the ground
