Show Notes

Though I didn’t talk about it in this episode, some of the great things about gathering acorns out in habitat are the encounters with wild creatures. Ms. Mesquitey and I have some great oak and wildlife stories that include, bears, deer, turkeys, javelinas, porcupines, jays, pigeons, woodpeckers, caterpillars. Hang out by an oak and you will be surrounded by life from the bottom to the top. Oaks are trees of life. I love growing them. The photos are mine of acorns and some very young Arizona white oaks (Quercus arizonica)
