Right now I have a fan on them drying them. I plan to get more white oak growing on my hunting property & figure I will try this method. Most desirable to me is that white oak are less likely to be impacted by oak wilt. White Oaks sprout as soon as they drop from the tree. They should not be dried, and should be planted straight away. They spend all winter putting down a tap root, then put up a stem and leaves in the Spring. Red Oaks sprout in the Spring, after chilling all Winter. They can be kept in the vegetable drawer in your refrigerator until Spring. True. I figured that out since that post was made. Good reminder for everyone though. Now I rinse them as soon as I get home from picking, place in the refrigerator, & plant in the fall. Last edited by AJE; 09/07/24 11:55 PM.
