your voice is so peaceful

That intro guitar riff is magical..

Thank you so much for the kind comment! I tried to fit as much info and tips as I could! Japanese Maples would be awesome seeds to collect, I think the Red Woods would be a favorite too! Thanks for watching :)

I just felt the need to thank you for what you are doing.

Dude, your videos are so very cool, tank you. I liked the little worm on the seed, and the squirrel getting the seeds, that was just awesome. Congrats

This sounds like Bob Ross planting happy little trees, I love it

I found my acorns in North York, Toronto, where I went to school. I felt it was important to hold onto them and sprout them somewhere else if ever the big trees are cut down. "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." Thank you again for your help! :D

Your voice is soothing, and relaxing. I enjoyed this video. Thanks for explaining why some acorns float, and the demonstration... Wow.

Thanks for this informative video! I'm developing the theme for my self-actualization brand and, I'm using a sprouting acorn as a symbol for growth! That symbol is dear to me because my dad used it as a symbol for church growth. I learned so much from episode 1! I like the calmness with which you talk about acorns. Your passion definitely comes through! Looking forward to watching the rest of your episodes!

Hi Jeremiah! I was looking for info on how to grow oak from acorns last fall and found out about stratification and have now had two big plastic bags of moist saw dust and acorns in my fridge over winter. Tomorrow I will start planting them in pots to be put out on my balcony, and now found your KZfaq channel. I wish I had found you earlier. GREAT channel. I just love the way you explain everything very methodical. You have also interested me in maple. Thanks for your efforts.

This is one of the best made, most informative videos I have ever seen. Thank you so much.

thank you! my 4 year old was so curious about acorns and he loved your video!

Kind, considerate and calming! 🥰

Magnificent work my friend, please keep up the terrific work!

I love this video. I have 3 Oak trees so this has been so helpful. I found some acorns on the ground and sure enough they all floated. Will be looking in the tree. We have tons of squirrels and birds. Will watch them. Thank you for video. Calming voice.

Thank you for posting all your knowledge about growing trees.

Hi Jeremiah, you once gave me some great advice about an acorn of mine and I am in need of and would so appreciate further advice from you. This acorn was actually a gift from a very special bluejay who I once provided granola to every day, for several months, at my front porch. I would say that at the time, he was probably my closest friend and I think I could say that I was his, too! He had a nest with babies and the female was nervous and always too afraid to come for granola, but always watched from the neighbor's fence. One day, after our daily 'chit chat' visit session (he would come very close and sort of gurgle/tweet, on and on, and it sort of felt like he was communicating how hard it was to be a dad with teenagers or something, but also so obviously appreciative for the best of my morning granola, rain or shine!), he swooped down into the neighbor's yard, came back up to my railing and gently laid down a perfect, beautiful, green acorn and pushed it in my direction...and then he went about his business. I felt so flattered, and so honored. I knew he was gifting this acorn to me, there was no confusion about it. He knew I ate the granola and he wanted to give me some of his food (I felt this communication). I wanted the gift to become a tree that would maybe one day produce acorns that his distant future descendants might decide to pick up and give to one of mine, it was a fun thought! I initially contacted you after I had done the water test (which it passed!). I followed through and put the acorn in moist soil and placed it in the refrigerator...and then I moved and it was in a family member's refrigerator...until today! I feel so guilty because I forgot to plant it in the winter, but I notice that it is now brown and has sprouted, with a small root in the refrigerated soil (about an inch and a half long). Is there hope for this tree? It seems to have a sort of Aristotelian ambition, all its own! I would appreciate any professional advice you might offer at this time. Thank you. (I did try to be brief...but it's not always in my nature!)

Thanks! The float test is a trick I now use frequently! I was on the shoreline of Georgian Bay yesterday tossing a few in to see their buoyancy! Thanks again, have a great weekend as well!

This is incredibly fascinating. Thank you for your instruction and soothing voice.

Just found a burr oak sprout 🌱 in my flower bed ! Seems like a squirrel 🐿 forgot about, now I moved it to a planter pot 🙌

it is a nice thing to do for kids ,to give them cool tips of acorns information

Great video!! I’ll be planting my first acorn seed tomorrow :)

You are the Bob Ross of nut collecting.

This has been very helpful, thank you!

Wow! Fantastic presentation.

Thank you. This was pleasant and informative for my ventures of growing a tree.

Great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge... For the love of Oaks!

His voice is so soothing omg, I liked it ☺️

Thanks same here, lots of color! I cant wait to start growing a few Red Oak seedlings!

Very nice. Love it. We're surrounded with Southern Live Oaks here in Austin, and we're very grateful for their shade and beauty in the Texas heat. Not to mention the fresh air! I've collected hundreds of acorns this fall (mostly Quercus Virginiana), and am working on germinating them. I have acorns from the Treaty Oak, Auction Oaks, and Battle Oaks. Just hope they produce!

Love your channel. Just found it. Look forward to building a forest on the plains near my home

brilliant keep em comming

wow I loved this video. It was so interesting when you found the larva inside the acorn

Very cool, look forward to the next chapter :)

Sir I have a deep respect for you.

Well presented and very valuable information... thank YOU!

Great Job on the Video! Keep them coming! VEry helpful and informative! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, I was blown away by this video. I thought I was watching a nature program on cable or pbs. Very nice and informational and beautiful quality video. Loved it!

At around 1:56, it looks like there is a heart shape in the oak tree bark... ❤️

I love your videos - Great information !

Thanks! Very informative videos! Keep up the good work! I am from the UK, I was walking through a forest this afternoon and had the notion to start planting acorns! Don't ask why, but I will give it a try!

So much information! Thanks so much!!

Very useful. Thanks!

Excellent video! I am waiting to watch the second part. I would like to plant some trees but I am inexperienced in this matter. I will look for information in my local library. Any advise on where and when to pick some acorns would be appreciated. Thanks a lot for your time!

This is amazing , thank you so much !

Great information. I've had a really tough time getting Burr Oak acorns. I have only one Burr Oak on my 160 acres that's mature enough to produce acorns. It's been a battle.

As others have noted, your video is awesome. I came here looking for just a video on when/how to germinate my Bur oak acorns, what I got was a very enjoyable informative video. Keep making videos like this and you will own the Internet one day.

beautiful and informative video; subbed!

Dude, this is so nice! Really pleasant to watch.

Thank you for this video.

So interesting!!!!! Thank you.

Superb!

Thank you so much Mariah. I will be coming out with a lot more videos this season, so please enjoy! Thanks again for subscribing!

Thanks LFG. I love your videos too! Thanks for the comment!

I agree! Thanks again for watching! Enjoy!

great stuff here thanx!

Nice info

thank you i love this. I love to gather them! Now i will know how to sprout them!

wow I had an oak seed for a few months and was waiting to plant it so upon seeing this video I tried the water test, I floated so I decided to crack it open like you said to be sure, and sure enough there were little worms inside! gave me the creeps cause I've had that see I'm my pocket and on my self but really good advice thanks for the help now I need to find another oak so I can get some seeds!

Thanks for sharing, you won't catch me climbing a tree :). I went out in the woods for a walk last week and forgot my bag so I was stuffing seeds into one pocket then another. I have 4 nice Black Walnut trees growing in the yard that the squirrels were nice enough to plant for me.

Thats great to hear how you came across my channel at such a time! I will be sure to post another video soon, discussing the planting of acorns and how to safely remove (when and how) from seed storage! I cant wait to hear of your progress on the acorns growth! Thanks for the comment, and for watching. Enjoy the new Episodes this season!

Thank you Jeremiah for doing what you're doing. I enjoyed your video very much. In front of my home there's this tree and I was just wondering what kind of tree it is. Then I stumbled upon your vid. Still not sure as to what it is. I think it may be an oak nut or hazelnut. Great job! Keep 'em up!!

Thanks for efforts

Thanks so much! You are a wonderful teacher.

Fantastic video! I'm here in an indirect way. Went to see about a job in a distant city. After that I went for a walk and was admiring the oak trees. I gathered up a handful for my own woods. The water test is a handy bit of information and I will continue utilize it. I'm reminded of a scene from the Jules Verne story "The Mysterious Island" which is about a small group of castaways who end up surviving and thriving although they are disconnected from the mainland. After 2 or 3 years, one character finds a single kernel of corn that was hidden deep in his jacket. He plants it and cares for it grows exponentially as the years go by.

Gee, this is the most interesting video I've seen in a long time... :I

Thank you! I wish I had more time so I could make more sooner, but the next episode is coming!

thank you for the video! did you move to italy? hope you make lots of videos!

Thanks for your comment, I will be sure to check out the blog and love reading about seeds! I hope you keep up the growing from seed, and look forward to reading the blog! Look for more videos to come soon! Enjoy!

I love your videos :) Thank you

Great video..we have a huge oak tree in our backyard. So I'm thinking about growing an oak tree. Or just learning about the different oak trees..thank you for your informative video! ..Will stay in touch!...:-)

Thanks Flemeth85, I should have it out soon!

This was 1 year after i was born- Also thank you i can know find some of those acorns!

You are great!

I Love Red Oak Trees :)

I have a two year old oak tree and it's booming. I forgot it was even there amoungst hundreds of other tropical plants, trees shrubs and vines. I'm pretty sure I became that squirls nemisis that morning when I snatched it up. I won't repeat what I'm sure it said to me but I can assure you it wasn't peaceful lol.

Dude... where was it that you were living in this video? It's absolutely beautiful.

Thanks! I have 3 Live Oak Trees 2 in my front yard and 1 in my back yard, now i know what to do when growing them!

Great video! New sub here! 🌱

I plant tens of thousands of loblolly pine because they grow fast. This month I collected white oak seeds (acorns). I guess if anyone is around in 75 years they might be logs by then. So much for this generation or the next.

This is a great video thank you

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the comment, thanks for watching!

Awesome!

Thank you so much.

I have grown 4 these trees today after 5 days will ready to plant, now I am working on 10 more trees I think these will be ready in 15 days

AwEsOmE info

great! I was about to ask you that.

Deer love acorns as well.

That green burr oak acorn you show toward the end of your video...I just found one exactly like it and it passes the water test. I will plant it now. Who knows ?

Thanks! :)

I think I'd rather be drinking a cold pilsner beer from that glass instead of floating acorns in it! Great information, and outstanding video. Thanks for sharing. From Canyon Lake Texas.... The land of LIVE OAK TREES. Big, wide, crooked limbs, and very small acorns.

Hi acerb! I believe the common Oak Tree in Ireland is the Sessile Oak- (Quercus petraea). There is also the Pedunculate Oak-(Quercus robur) Thanks for watching, and Enjoy the new videos!

I grew Oak from acorn, the acorn sprouted Feb. 2012 and now it is a little (1.60cm; 5'3feet) tree on my street.

I live in Colorado Springs...theres a park called parmer park...and there a huge thangs of acorns there...can I use those?

Those squirrels know what they are doing! I would love to get some black walnut seeds, may have to start searching soon. Thanks for watching!

NICE VIDEO THANKS.I HAVE JUST STARTED GROWING PLANTS AND WOULD LOVE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW TO GERMINATE TREES IN PARTICULAR THE WALNUT TREE WHICH I HAVE TRIED LOOKING UP ON AND DID NOT REALLY FIND ANY INFORMATION ON.DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WALNUT?I WOULD ALSO LIKE A GO AT LEMON AND LIME TREES; THANKYOU SHAZ

Thanks for watching! The float test lets you know if the acorns you found on the ground are infested with insects...but I don't believe I have every picked an acorn off a tee that has not sunk. Floating acorns, usually is a good indicator the seeds are not fit for planting, but nature is full of surprises..

Beautiful tree at 2:00

What is a good size pot to plant them in As I only have big ones that is 1ft tall and 1ft wide but I think it will be ok

Thank you so much. I don't suppose you could help me fugue out whether I have white oak saplings or some sort of scrub oak saplings in my yard could you? I know white oak has rounded leaves, but so do some of the scrub oaks here lol. Any tips on other things I could look at to determine the answer? Bud patterns or somersetting? Unfortunately it's winter so there's not much that jumps out at me.
