On this week's episode of Huntin' Land we are joined by Iain Wallace from Chestnut Hill Outdoors who provides detailed advice on when and how to harvest acorns, the best methods for germinating and growing oak seedlings, and tips for protecting young trees from deer and other pests. The conversation focuses on how to successfully harvest acorns and plant oak trees to provide a year-round food source for wildlife. The hosts discuss the importance of having a variety of oak species that drop at different times to keep animals on the property throughout the year. Key topics include the differences between white, red, and swamp oak varieties, the benefits of planting a mix of species, and strategies for establishing new oak stands in both upland and bottomland areas. We also explore the advantages of purchasing pre-grown oak seedlings versus propagating from seed. Overall, the discussion offers a comprehensive guide for landowners looking to enhance their property's wildlife habitat through oak tree cultivation.
