Good links. I want to grow from seed that I collect and learn the whole process that way. Eventually I'd like to help pass on the skills to schools and other groups. My town used to be surrounded by a ring of oaks way back and there is talk of bringing it back that way. Some of us think it would be best to use local acorns and have kids look after them in school until they are fit to plant as opposed to buying them in.

Sounds like a great idea mate. We donate quite a few trees to local schools, villages etc. It a very rewarding thing to do, and only really costs your time in input. It also gives a positive image for the industry as a whole.

a fairly good book is 'hardy woody plants from seed' by P D A McMillan Browse.
