Acrons!*

[furtech]

While my car is being fixed, I'm doing some searches that I keep putting off for lack of time. The big search this time is for...Acorns!

I've been trying to find a site that sells plantable acorns, located in Southern California. Apparently acorns are so plentiful and easily gathered that -no one- sells them! Unfortunately, I'm looking for -specific- varieties of oaks, not just the plentiful "Interior Live Oak". The oaks I'm focused on are the Blue Oak or the White Oak: I want a tree that has leaves without spines and big, round acorns. I'd settle for the Mesa Oak or the Canyon Live Oak. Also, I need acorns from trees living in a similar environment (ie, hot and dry, not coastal and wet). If anyone knows of a source for these, I'd be very grateful (and a *thwack* for those smartasses who suggest "oak trees" as the best source for acorns!). Unfortunately, acorns need to be "fresh", from the current season, to be viable. So sources could include an actual tree in an accessable location.

I was bemused at Ebay's sponsored link suggestions... I'm sure Target.com has a HUGE selection of acorns...and the, "Compare prices on acorns and SAVE MONEY," had me laughing out loud.

You're welcome! It just so happens that my mom called me last night so I mentioned it in passing and I got far more info than anyone would ever want about getting acorns. Including mass collection methods and stuff like that! I think finding a Totoro would be easier tho. Gotta love Mom. So if you ever do need methods for collection or places to buy from I can fill ya in. O.O
Good luck with it!
