I have a swamp chestnut oak that produces huge brown acorns. Several people have asked me about seedlings, so I would like to get some started, but I don't really know how to do it. And is this the right time of year? I'm in Louisiana.

All responses appreciated.

The acorns of most white oaks have no dormancy requirement and will germinate immediately after falling. Swamp chestnut oak acorns should not be stored, but planted as soon as possible after harvesting in the fall. Seedlings grow fast, up to 3-4 ft (0.9-1.2 m) in the first year. - http://www.floridata.com/ref/Q/quer_mic.cfm
