5 amazing facts about oak trees

I did hear on Radio factoid that Oaks dont bear acorns until they are 50 years old, - - WRONG.!!! I planted an acorn wich 'grew' took it to Argyll where family live, 26 years ago, it bore its 'fruit' six years ago, and is as tall s the house.

Oak trees at our small property are from 65-100+ years old. Plant a tree NOW and enjoy it your whole life.

First of all, I'm very fond of oak trees, for several reasons. Oak trees are what is known as "hardwoods" and they re-seed themselves (Big Oaks from little acorns grow...) and they are very important to building historically, architecturally and physically in this United States. If you have oak beams and boards in your home, you are extremely fortunate because there is every reason to believe they will stand the test of time, while softer woods may not. Real oak furniture, while it may be heavy (depending on who made it), will also stand the test of time. If you love wood working, you, no doubt, love oak wood. And there are many different varieties! Check out red oak, black oak, white oak, sessile oak, Hungarian oak...and more...!
