Yamabudoudanshi's Acorn to Oak Tree Thread

[Yamabudoudanshi]

Grew some of these Konara (Quercus serrata) from acorns collected from a tree at my local park last year, so I went and collected 30 or so good ones and split them across 3 slit pots. They've since been covered with a little more akadama.
I've already got a bunch of bendy individuals from last year that grew under mesh, so I think this time around I'd like to attempt some clumps for this contest. Due to the nature of how these germinate (with a little sack) clumps might be challenging, but I'm looking forward to trying.

Looking forward to seeing some little oaks.

Are we allowed to do clumps? I wanted to do some trunk fusing but I think the rules say we ultimately have to pick a single tree.

If they're fused by the five-year mark, they count as a single tree for the purpose of selecting your frontrunners.

Good enough for me.

Definitely up for a clump-off Providing anything germinates for me. This is my first attempt with acorns..

Seems I have roots poking out the bottom of the slit pots. Looks like we're off to the races. Now to wait and see how many come up in the spring.

And we're off!
