While making acorn meal this fall, I held three good-looking acorns back with the intention of sprouting them in the spring. I looked up the best way to do it: place them in the fridge over winter (to simulate winter conditions), and plant them in the spring. But just for the heck of it, I decided to plant one right away and see what happened. Kept it wet and placed it in a south-facing window.
Well, guess what? It sprouted! YAY! In a couple of years, when it’s established, we’ll make it a bonsai.

ummm … it’s already a mini-tree, lol.
Our cats would eat it and potty in the dirt – no joke.

Technically it’s a sprout, not a mini tree. But who cares as long as it looks right? 🙂
Yeah, I’ve been worried about Mini messing with it during the night, so I move it to a spot where he’s not likely to hang out.

It’s gotten bigger since I posted this. It’s about 1/2 inch tall now with several leaves. 🙂
