Planting Chestnut “cow” oaks
Posted on 1/17/23 at 5:12 pm

I bought some cow oaks in one gallon pots. I don’t plan on planting them until next fall. I was thinking of transplanting them to 3 gallon pots now. My questions, is that a good idea (trees will be disturbed twice), should I fertilize them when I re-pot them?

Why not go ahead and plant them now?
Won’t hurt to plant twice, but if you plant them now, in 5 years, the ones you plant now will be bigger and healthier than ones you wait to plant.

Don't want to hijack this thread but I have to ask if anyone knows what species of oak is grown in Iran that produces acorns that appear to be about 3/4" to 7/8" in diameter and 2" to 3" or more long .
I saw them being handled and dried in this video.

Maybe Quercus brantii, all I could find really.

I have a couple Swamp Chestnut Oaks on the way along with Nutall and Shumard.
I think you will be fine transplanting to a bigger pot and waiting till fall.

Whatever they are, don’t plant them stateside.

If you do it right should be fine.
Great tree to plant - grow big and have nice canopy shapes, wildlife hammer the acorns
And the acorns are human consumable

That's what I found also, but they supposedly don't get near this large.

You can transplant to bigger pot. The bigger pot will allow much more root expansion, which leads to more above-dirt growth.
Then plant in ground in winter.
Most oaks are fairly receptive to transplanting if you do it the right way.

Caucasian or Persian Oak, get to planting and let us know how the deer like them.
