Oak Regeneration Practices: Planting Oaks for Afforestation
If you have questions about this resource, contact your county Extension office.
Summary
Millions of oak seedlings have been produced by tree nurseries and planted in the eastern United States each year since the 1980s. Most of these oak plantings have been unsuccessful, as they are not apparent on the landscape. Possible causes include inadequate site preparation, failure to control competing vegetation, not matching the species to a favorable site, and poor planting stock.
