The first of October I planted this tiny acorn. It was as small as my little finger nail. It's going to be a mighty Oak one day! Mama is so proud of her youngster 😊

@LunarOrbit huh... wow! Cool! But you know something..Maples grow so much faster than Oak. 😊
We had a forest ranger here to ..check out all the hard wood in our woods, 120 acres. They wanted to cut down..thin out most of the soft wood so the Oaks..hard wood trees could grow better without sharing the ..ground of it's moisture and nutrients with Maples... Sooo... we weren't going to sign up for this program.
@ShadowWorker Very nice! I can only imagine 120 acres. (I only have 43) I respect the oaks because every squirrel and deer go after their nutritious acorns. On the other hand, Maples ‘blow their load’ everywhere and maple keys have a much better chance of starting to grow as you find saplings everywhere. But yes…maples definitely grow quick and their fall colours are unsurpassed. :)
