I need to plant them, as there are none now. My family, over the last 300
years, managed to cut *every* red oak and sweet chestnut in our woods. My
Dad took me planting acorns the year I turned three, so there are a few
now, and I am planting more. I took my kid planting acorns the year she
turned three.
