Hello all,
My neighbor has a cork oak that was planted by some squirrels about fifteen years ago in his front yard. He said that he chopps it down every few years because he is too lazy to dig it out. It is about 3-4 inches in diameter and about 8-9 inches tall. The bark is completely corked and looks great. It has shoots from last year sticking out at all angles.
I have read the basics for collecting but have never done it. My question is: Has anybody on here ever collected a cork oak? What should I be doing different for this species?
I am going to give it a go next week because the weather is warming up and I know my Cal Live oaks are going to put out new shoots in a few weeks.
thanks for any tips.
