I prefer to grow from seed when I can: it's about the journey, not the destination As a result, I now have about 15 quercus suber and 10ish virginiana that I "don't need".
Options I'm considering for their future include trying to sell/trade them. Or maybe to make a couple forest plantings. Has anyone done, seen decent forest plantings with any of the live oaks? My fear is that the craggy branches typical of oak would be lost under the foliage in all seasons. Is there any interest in a live oak group planting that isn't there in a single, larger tree?
Both these species tend to form looser forests. I'm thinking if I did try it it might be more of group plantings (3-5 trees) rather than a more crowded planting. Close view rather than far view?
I haven't seen too many live oak forests on the googles...and none in person.
Thoughts?
