Oaks take forever to grow and mature .... my father planted an acorn in his garden when my eldest girl was born who's now 26 and it's only about 10 foot tall and the branches are probably out to only around 15 foot .......

I had an English oak grow from acorn last winter this spring and summer it grew 8inches in its first season and had to be re potted these big nursheries like barchams seem to know what they are doing and all there oaks are acorn grown

I know absolutely nothing about trees but that place Barchams is a hell of a gaff they know their stuff and have ridiculously fertile land we bought some young trees off them years ago on the advice of a good experienced gardener and he wasnt wrong......the groung they are in must make a huge difference to their initial growth surely.

We grow thousands of the b*****ds at work and I wouldn't say they were slow growing. I pruned a few ready for being transplanted a week or two ago and they had about 6ft of this years growth on them.

Id say there was something not right with either the tree or the ground its in ...

Normal oaks I mean not quercus ilex.

I agree

One of our fields is a solid clay and some of the oaks planted on there don't like it but others grow fine. All the ones on our black soil grow like mad.

Cushtys will grow fine with all the human slurry he shits on it

Oaks grow better in ground that's already had oaks in, they produce mycelium or summat in the root system which benefits the next tree. A lot of trees are the opposite and benefit from fresh ground.

Ectomicorhizzal fungi gnip,i have done indoor tests in the past on indoor and outdoor plants and the root growth is phenomenal.

I get thousands growing from acorns every year, but the topper is not selective. Maybe the pros feed the oaks they harvest the acorns of off. Ill get a few pics tomorrow.
