On location in the Teign(teen) gorge
A little bit of digging in the leaf mould on the forest floor is enough to find many sprouted Acorns.
These are much more advanced than the ones that I have in the plant pots in my garden. Not sure why though, could be any number of reasons. Probably because these are at a lower altitude and covered with damp rotting leaves.
Oak are one of a few trees, where the tree can be sowed from seed, directly into short grass, because the first sprout, is tall enough to reach up and get enough light to grow.
