I have grown some burr oaks and valley oaks from acorns in pots but they only extist and do not flourish, is there some kind of fertilizer I should be using when they are tiny? I recently transfered some valley oaks to bigger pots, broke off some roots that had grown out the drain holes and one of these roots is starting to grow oak leaves, is this common?

As someone whom planted trees, hundreds of trees. Planting them directly where you want them, works better then planting them in a container. For me. Also, the PH, and location can be quirky, so, you need to make sure the tree wants to be there. dont plant a swamp oak, on top of a mountain. Also, 40% peat? whoa. I've never seen anyone use that much peat moss. But, we also mix with local soil. So, we know our local soil's clay content, or, sand, etc.

Thanks for posting! I collected 100 white oak acorns and have planted them all. Did not know they did not need stratified so the germination has been a little slower. Despite float testing all, nearly 2 months, there are only 3 seedlings popping up so am hoping that they will all come. But definitely slower than I anticipated. Patience is definitely required but so satisfying to know they will be safe from deer and wildlife and can be planted in time!

Try using 2 year old dead fall leaves. Pile, let stand for a year and dig out the partially de-composed leaves at the very bottom of the pile after decomposing all summer, in place of peat moss. Packs well in pots and has lots of natural nutrients and good drainage. White oaks crop every year, and some like red have banner years and nearly none the next. I have put these oak seeds under a leaf pile and cover for winter, then uncover and put in pots with the root starting to grow. Putting pots OUT of direct sunlight is best as the summer sun can scorch the leaves. I usually start about 2 dozen each year and re-use the pots...put them out across my hunting property up north where oaks are scarce...knowing that I won't benefit from the crop myself, but someone will thank me some day.

Thanks for watching. Castrol edge is a GTL based oil so it’s similar to the ACDelco oil. It’s really not comparable to the Mobil ESP oil. I often hear people say oil meets a spec but the company won’t pay for to be GM approved. Every major oil supplier that has an oil will get theirs approved because it opens up their sales. Proof is, if you look at the list of Dexos 1 oils they include every major supplier, including Castrol. Further proof, Castrol does have an approved oil for these trucks, it’s the Castrol edge turbo diesel. So if their standard edge meets the spec, it too would be listed as an approved product. www.gmdexos.com/brands/dexosd/index.html

I have had Blackstone analysis for three oil changes with OEM oil and filter (2020 LM2). Every time it comes back with over 1500 miles of oil protection left. I even checked the last two at 0% oil life reported by truck. At 32K nothing out of ordinary and over 1k miles of protection remaining (0% life/around 7k on oil). At this point I see no proof that I need to pay more for oil or filter or change oil before truck tells me. I will continue to have my oil analyzed every other oil change to keep eyes on the health of my engine. I started checking my oil after having some dealerships say change it at 10-20% oil life and others saying 0% because extra miles were already accounted for by engineers. I even got the same story from Lexus about their 10k miles oil change. So far 0% is right because my results are coming back good for my truck. They also said to check oil level regularly. If I develop an oil leak/burn oil I could run out of oil between oil changes. So do your own analysis because everyone uses their truck differently. A $45 test can save money on maintenance and engine repairs.
