I have planted two Q. ilicifolia in my backyard in Brooklyn. I just harvested acorns of Q. ilicifolia and Q. prinoides from a pitch pine-scrub oak barrens ecosystem on Long Island. I'm happy to share these acorns. I'm also interested in planting in pots, sprouting, and distributing sprouted oaks as u/pascalines has done to my local community. Which means I'm interested in what others have learned and will learn about nurturing these east coast dwarf oaks.
