How to Grow Pin Oak Trees - Complete Profile / Germinate Acorn

Important - One item I didn't stress in this video is for those who live in very cold regions. Acorns will die if they freeze completely. So, if you are in Zone 5 or less, keep your pots in an unheated garage, shed, or bury them in the ground and mulch them.

This video is a detailed plant profile on the Pin Oak Tree, Quercus palustris. In this video we will cover a detailed description of the Pin Oak tree including it's growth rate, height/spacing/characteristics. And how to harvest acorns, test their viability, and germinate them (including planting depth, etc).

To learn how effective the float test is, see our write up on it where I summarize several published studies - https://growitbuildit.com/float-test-...
