Right now I have ~100 live oaks planted. Once I transition these into larger pots I would like to start some of the other oaks that I have in the fridge. Is there a minimum or maximum time that I should leave acorns in the fridge?

Looking good. I hope my cells look like that in another week or two.
I added moss and some moisture to the acorns in my fridge. My wife didn’t appreciate the additional space I was taking up so I moved them to the fridge in my office. Now my hunting room looks like a grow room and my office fridge looks like a science experiment.

Lots of projects....just not much money....lol. I'm about to plant 500 Virginia Pine seedlings for a visual screen for the food plots from my neighbor....although I have great neighbors. They make great Christmas trees in 3 years and don't get as tall as loblollies.
My neighbor high fenced his small place (70 acres) last year and he stocked it full of deer and exotics. So now he feeds alot in his truck and it tends to disturb my back food plot when they see his truck.
Fencing, bulldozing, pig trapping, are all on the list as well!
Lol TradAg02. My wife and kids just laugh at me every morning when I check on my baby chestnut trees. I'm running out of room too.Last edited by unclefish; 01-07-2013, 04:50 PM.
