ooooo oooo oooo
very interested, I've heard about the oak site down that way.
Are you visiting Steve LaValley at Botanical Ark at Warrigal too? He has about 30 different oaks including the Holm oak var Balotta.
Bit out of the way but there are some great edible acorns in St Arnauld. I've made flour and they only needed one rinsing!!!!!
I have some quercus robur seedlings too.

We have only very young oaks andrew but you are most welcome to drop in for a visit.

i got a burbary from the lovly curator of the bot gardens at Albury
many of the best oaks seem to be in avenues of honour
does anyone live near Dunkeld? i spoke to Bill Funk who is a collector of trees he is an amazing recource much of his collection is displayed at the Dunkeld arbouraetum

[andrew curr]

Andrew, I know I'm a bit late, but if you want to see one of the oldest weeping oaks in Victoria, let me know. It's a magnificent beast of a tree.The babies of this tree don't seem to even think about becoming pendulous until they're at least 15-20yo (there's a bit of a grove happening, most of the babies are under 30yo, but the little ones pop up every spring, without fail ... the acorns are large).

[andrew curr]

I would love to see that one, can u get any viable acorns for me/???
what type do you think it might be
can you show us a photo//..?
