      <description><![CDATA[I bought several of these last fall and planted along a small creek. I did so because I have alot of loblolly pine on my land here in Texas and wanted these trees to be able to get sunlight in case they didn't take on the Bur oak characteristics (developed into a bush), although I am hoping they take on more of the Bur Oak. They are doing well as of today.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Sorry for the slow response Charlie.  I haven't been up to my property where I planted the oaks until yesterday. Looks like their growth has slowed since the last time I posted.  I noticed a few of them are showing a little yellowing in on their leaves.  Could this be a PH problem or just high summer temperatures?  We have gotten plenty of rain in the past month. Unfortunately one of my Schuettes Oaks died.  It was probably due to vines growing on top of the seedling and pulling it down and starving of light.  I've been so busy I couldn't get down to my place and cut back competition. The area I planted the seedling is also prone to flooding and we have received alot of rain the past few weeks, so maybe that could have something to do with it as well?  I will be replacing with some Gobbler Sawtooth Oaks I have growing in pots this fall. Most of the seedlings seem to be doing well.  I cut back competition with my machette and I imagine they are establishing their root systems. Looks like all but that one will survive. I haven't checked the PH of my soil. What is the best way to do that?<br />
Thx]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Just an update on the hybrid oaks I purchased this past fall.  The temps here in Southeast Texas are starting to really climb.  We are hitting mid 90's now with high humidity.  These trees seem to be taking the heat as well as any of the other species in the area.  We had a few problems with bugs tearing up the leaves but the hybrid oaks have overcome that as well.  They have probably grown some in highth but not as much as the first month.  Seems like they are busy putting on leaves and I have noticed the bases are getting some girth on them.  These trees seem to be doing o.k. in zone 9]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Quick update: As stated before, I am growing hybrid oaks in zone 9, edge of zone 8.  I ordered a variety of hybrid oaks because I wasn't sure what would do well.  A month into growing season, all trees have sprouted and putting on growth. However, the BurGamble and BurEnglish varieties are showing tremendous growth so far. Each have put on at least 6&quot; of growth from 6&quot; seedlings. I am amazed how well they have done so far.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[So, have you tried to cross Dwarf Chinkapin with a Bur Oak or Swamp White Oak to get Dwarf Chinkapin Oak traits in a larger tree or is their another hybrid that accomplishes the same thing? I was just thinking along the lines of Burgamble, where the Gamble is a smaller oak but hybridized with Bur Oak, it produces sweet acorns on a larger tree at a faster rate]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dwarf Chinkapin is much different than the Chinkapin oak tree. The chinkapin oak (Quercus muehlenbergii) is more like our standard White Oak (Quercus alba) that grows into a very large tree, were Dwarf Chinkapin ( Quercus prinoides) is a bush to small oak tree and produces acorns at much earlier ages than Chinkapin. Chinkapin can cross with Swamp White Oak.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[We have had great results from customers planting in zone 8. We don't have that many customers in Zone 9 to give you a good history. We have had a few customers from Texas in zone 9 purchase hybrid oaks and I haven't had any negative feedback. Sorry, I wish I was more help to you. With the type of oaks that you have growing in your area I would think you would be alright. Best maybe to test plant a few before you make a big investment. Thank you for the question.]]></description>

I was wondering if any of these hybrids would do well here.  I would be plantin in clay/sand soil.  It has shown to grow sawtooths and white oaks, along with pin oaks and chinquipin oaks.

      <description><![CDATA[Yes, some times they do lot's of work under ground before they send a hormonal message to grow wood. The very first dwarf Chinkipin oak I ever planted stayed 1-2' for two years then grew to 3'4' and had acorns the following season. Great little oaks to have for wildlife.

      <description><![CDATA[I thought I'd give a follow up on how these did when planted.<br />
<br />
I&quot;m happy to tell you that 100% of the seedlings grew, better than I expected but very welcome.<br />
<br />
Planted in a N-S configuration with the Dwarf Chinquapins to the West in one row &amp; the Gambel oaks in a row parallel to them about 15' to the east.  <br />
<br />
It's my hope that closely planted like this that in another 6-7 years I'll be able to start looking for hybrid producing acorns.  <br />
<br />
Will give me another interesting thing to do/watch for in my little wildlife planting.<br />
<br />
Edit:<br />
<br />
It would appear that both of these oak types are of the kind to &quot;sleep or creep&quot; the first year.  The most any of them grew was perhaps 4&quot;.  However, several that got stuck in pots for a few weeks before I could plant them out show why I think.  I removed that little netting wrap from all these when planting, even in the pots.  When I went to plant out the ones in the pots, I was quite surprised to see a few roots that had reached the bottom or the sides near the bottom.  While the pots were not large, about 2 qt. size, that still is fast root growth for the time they had.  So I'd guess these little seedlings grew, but not where much of the growth can be seen. <br />
<br />
So for anyone who intends to give these a trial, don't expect much or any above ground growth in the first year.  <br />
<br />
But I do think they'll do far better this coming summer with the roots established now.]]></description>

I am very happy your trees are doing well and thanks for the feedback. Many times newly planted oaks will not grow above ground the first year. It seems some choose to not send the hormonal message to the tree that's above ground to grow and instead spends it's time getting happy underground. Stress or genetics can cause this. Thanks Larry as this information’s is helpful to others I am sure.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Planted some Sergeants, Bebbs and Fastigate oaks in the spring of 09 in predominantly clay soil.  They didn't grow much (all in tree tubes) and made me kind of grumpy (then).  However, they all survived the winter and spent a lot of this year wet - including standing water for awhile - as my part of northern WI seemed to get rain all summer.<br />
They are all still alive and I now have several growing out the top of their 5 foot tree tubes with the rest of varying heights.  These are really great trees!  Thank you Charlie!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Charlie,<br />
<br />
I planted those Dwarf Chinquapin &amp; Gambel Oaks I ordered this spring in a 20' X 20' two row planting.  <br />
<br />
In a few years when both get to bearing well I'm hopeful we can get some acorns that will be a cross of the two shrub Oak types.  <br />
<br />
In order to try to improve the odds of getting such a hybrid would it help to try to pick all the pollen stems of of one of the two types?  If yes would it be better to do this to one type over the other or won't it matter?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Yes, give me a call Craig and I will let you know what I have cooking for 2010. The cross Swamp Chestnut x Swamp White oak would not really be a good hybrid as both trees are considered by many as the same species. Some of the hybrids of Q. bicolor are Q. x white oak, Bur oak, English, English Fastigate, Chinkapin and Chestnut oak.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[In looking around I saw this topic in under the old forum.<br />
<br />
Do you still do this?<br />
<br />
Is a Swamp Chestnut X Swamp White oak possible, or have you done so already?<br />
<br />
If you have tried this cross did they show hybrid vigor?  <br />
<br />
I've a area in which I'm planting that in some wet springs can hold surface sheet water for a couple weeks.  I'd be very interested in buying some of these.]]></description>

Could be several things all of which are harmless. No need to spray at this time. Thanks for the question.<br />

      <description><![CDATA[We got some hybrid oaks planted this spring and about two months ago we noticed small brown dots on the leaves. Should we be concerned with this?  Is it a fungus that we should spray?]]></description>
