I must add another photo of the seedlings. I got 21 seedlings from 23 seeds that were four years old. I have distributed 10 already to gardening friends, and have five allocated for a great gardener here called Jimi Blake ( and his sister has a garden near by , she is called June Blake). I have about another 50 or 70 seeds, so I may grow them in spring for the charities and for the garden society.
I was amazed how well they came up.
Many thanks for the acorns, that was great of you.
Kind regards,
Peter
