Important - One item I didn't stress in this video is for those who live in very cold regions. Acorns will die if they freeze completely. So, if you are in Zone 5 or less, keep your pots in an unheated garage, shed, or bury them in the ground and mulch them.
This video is a detailed plant profile on the Pin Oak Tree, Quercus palustris. In this video we will cover a detailed description of the Pin Oak tree including it's growth rate, height/spacing/characteristics. And how to harvest acorns, test their viability, and germinate them (including planting depth, etc).
To learn how effective the float test is, see our write up on it where I summarize several published studies - growitbuildit.com/float-test-...

What an awesome video about the pin oak! I have been following your channel for 5+ years and here I am discovering this video 2 years after you uploaded it that is extremely relevant, as I am beginning my homegrown national park project. Thanks for all the great videos I will continue to watch and learn!

Such an informative video, Thank You! Our back field Red Oak can now be classified as Pin Oak! It is about 60 ft tall, but does not seem very old as it still has a more cylindrical (even conical) shape. It does drop (some) acorns though. The tree was found untouched since sprouting in fairly thick brush among dogwoods, and even the first of it's branches remained. Although the lowest branches (up to about 8 ft up) were abandoned they were still very strong and could not be broken off easily. Even some approx 1" thick were not something you might just break over your knee. It is now limbed up to its second row of live branches (say 10 ft). The tree is dead straight. There are many seedlings in the vicinity, the biggest is about 20 ft, and others seem small enough to transplant (~ 4")!

@growitbuildit 9 месяцев назад

You're welcome - I'm glad you enjoyed it. Sounds like you've got a nice tree that is starting to reproduce. You will probably notice some years are much better than others in regards to acorn production. Usually every 3rd year is quite good.

Thank you Emma! I'm glad I could get you excited about growing trees. It is fun to figure out the different ways they reproduce and germinate. I'm going to try some double-dormancy shrubs this year.

Nice job. Very helpful video, but for the fridge stratification, should I leave them in the fridge until march, because I know with some other seed stratifying in the fridge it is 6-8 weeks

@growitbuildit Год назад

Thank you Tamal! I'm glad you found it helpful. I've only Winter Sowed these, but double checked the literature and that states they need a 30-45 day cold stratification period. But in general, giving the seed a longer stratification period should be fine. So you should be able to safely leave the acorns in the fridge until March.

@jesspatrick2 5 месяцев назад

I live near woods where ash trees are dying or dead and need to be replaced. Pin oak is one of the species I am using. I've been digging up seedlings, transplanting them, and then caging them and flagging them so that I don't mow over them. I hope to see around 20 oaks on the property in the next few years to replace some of the ash trees.

@growitbuildit 5 месяцев назад

That would be awesome Jess - you may want to try to mix up some more species. That way if some new disease comes through it won't wipe out a monoculture. A couple suggestions could be Red Maple (easy to get seed in Spring, germinates readily), Persimmon, Butternut, Black Cherry, or Sycamore.

@stardustxx278 Год назад

I think that is what is growing where the turnpike folks put in that fill. There are quiet a few of them popping up and they are so cute I was going to grab a few of them and see if anyone wanted them because I don't think they will let them grow where they are.

@bluebowser3121 2 года назад

Crazy there is so many species of oak in America! Do you think a video explaining the best oak trees for different conditions / uses would be worth making? I reckon some might be perfect for certain conditions, whilst others are perfect for different uses. You could even have one on the list that is the most beneficial for wildlife. Just an idea if you want it, don't feel pressured. I know there is so many oaks that it might be a monumental task.

@growitbuildit 2 года назад

I really like that idea. I may have to add that to the list, although as you suspect, it will certainly take some time. I need to keep locating more species!

@thewarchariot1685 11 месяцев назад

Hello, So I have some northern red oak acorns that I just harvested and it's mid August. Can I sow them now in a container as you did in the video or is it to early?

@growitbuildit 11 месяцев назад

If they fell from the tree naturally (not because of a windy storm) and are ripe (brown, not green), and pass the float test....then yes, you could do as I did exactly. Don't let the acorns dry out - keep them in a zip-lock bag in the fridge until you sow.

Hi there from NZ. This is a great video if you have time for or need to know the history of this tree. But, I think you could have made this into at least 2 videos, if not more. I wanted to know how to germinate it....not the whole 9 yards on its history and importance in the ecosystem; even though that is interesting. To me you diverted from your video title. I just wanted to know if I have to take the outer husk off, soak it beforehand and stratify it or not. Moving on! Thanks.

hey so my pin oak sapling sprung up in april and i see a bud at the top of it. do oak trees grow in waves like they push out growth, stop growing for a couple weeks then grow again? also, should i wait until next year or this year to plant it because it's growing pretty slow.

@growitbuildit Год назад

If you've got leaves on top, you can plant it. The tree will grow to the size of container it is in. I would wait until it puts out leaves, then plant in it's final location. That would be the best for the tree.

@Vezmerize 11 месяцев назад

I've been binging your content since I discovered you yesterday. I have an oak coming up through a hedge that I thought was a pin oak and was going to take it down. But after watching your video, I think I will leave it. I'm not a fan of fast-growing trees because they usually die sooner, but your video convinced me that it is worth keeping. Keeping. My only concern after watching your video is that there is a possibility it is a black oak. So without the ability to do a side by side comparison of leaves, what do you think is the number one way to identify it as a pin oak? Thank you for your time and your wonderful content.

@growitbuildit 11 месяцев назад

Hi - Identifying young trees is very hard - especially those two. But you may need to wait until next Spring to get a definite ID. But Black Oak leaves are covered with very tiny hairs when they are young. Pin Oaks will not be completely covered. I don't think you can tell this when leaves are mature. I would say check the buds, but even those look pretty similar to me. But even still - I have nothing against Black Oak. It does make larger Acorns though.

@Vezmerize 11 месяцев назад

@@growitbuildit great, thank you for the response. I will let it go as it is about 12-16 ft. tall already (I am bad at estimating distance). I just need to make sure I don't injur it while clearing some wild grape! Have a good one and look forward to your next video!

@___PK__ 9 месяцев назад

@@Vezmerize I have found just cutting the base of the grape vines and letting them stay in the tree is safe. For walnut, ripping down the vines can tear the header right off the tree. Just cutting at the base so the tree has time to outrun it a bit. Virginia creeper is actually beneficial and wont bog the tree down, wont take over the crown, so I leave it alone.

@joanp105 2 года назад

I would love a video about how to identify the trees of the NE. I cannot seem to see the differences between the many oaks on our property, which turn different colors in the fall, have different acorns, and the barks all look alike😗. The only trees I know for sure, are white birch, river birch, weeping willow, and tulip trees. There are so many others that are also birches, cherries, ash?, several kinds of maples, chestnut, shag bark hickory, as well as conifers. I have been told by “professionals” that the huge and very damaged tree at the edge of our driveway, is an elm. This type of identification video would be of much use to so many avid gardeners. I have taken Michael Dirr’s book out with me quite often, but the bark and even the leaves are still not identifiable for sure! Help, please.

@growitbuildit 2 года назад

That would be a looong video! I would love to do it, but I am limited by where I can find the trees. There are so many different Oak species just around here, locating them all can be a challenge. In the meantime I will be adding some more profiles at our website this Winter, and plan on capturing the 4-5 most common species (Oaks). And will be covering hickories, maples....many more. It just takes time to do a tree justice in a video or article! And for pictures/video, I've got to be able to capture the tree in all four seasons. Feel free to email me with specific questions though, I will see what I can do. Just click on the 'about' tab on the channel, and you can see a button to reveal a contact email.

@SlobodanSljivar Год назад

I am in Australia and have followed your instructions on germinating the pin oak from seeds, which has worked well out of 30 acorns 26 have germinated and are growing now. However there is some sort of disease on some of them which is causing its leaves to have small brown dots and in extreme cases large portions of the leaf go brown and even have holes in them. Four of them appear to be totally dead. Any suggestions?

@growitbuildit Год назад

Hi Slobodan - there are a couple of different fungi that can cause this in US. I'm not sure if they would be present in Australia though. But if it is a humid environment this can create conditions for it. If the spots were more on the periphery of the leaves I would think perhaps it was just sunburn from water being on leaves during the hottest part of the day. But small brown spots indicate some kind of leaf spot fungus. It usually won't kill the tree, but this Winter when leaves fall off, throw them away. And try to keep it in a place with better air movement.

@growitbuildit Год назад

Hi Birttany - you could *probably* grow them, but these plants like to put out a taproot early in their life. That root will continue to grow after the leaves fall off, and it would probably be better if it didn't get stunted. I would strongly recommend you put it in a tree shelter and just plant it out. That way it will be protected from deer and grow faster via the greenhouse effect.

@growitbuildit 10 месяцев назад

Hi Donald - in my experience, trees grow slowly the first year or two, then start to take off assuming they are in the proper growing conditions. If you think the soil in your yard is a problem, you could have it tested by your local ag extension office. They usually do this for free, but call before you bring it in. Sorry - but I don't sell any seed or acorns. But if you ask around, or just cruise older suburban neighborhoods, you may very well find some older trees growing. You could probably collect a few acorns from those. They were a very common/popular landscaping tree for a while.

@growitbuildit 2 года назад

Hi Diane - don't give up hope! You might get lucky. But in regards to pruning, I wouldn't trim anything back, but remove the whole stem if I didn't want it. When they are young I mainly focus on avoiding stems rubbing together or crossing over the main trunk. I suggest you read this US Forestry guide on pruning trees. It is basically what I follow, and what I do to my own trees: www.dec.ny.gov/docs/lands_forests_pdf/prunetree.pdf
