Step 6OAK UPDATE August 2009
This is the first time that I've grown acorns and, to be honest , I had given up on this batch.
They did not do anything and seemed to go mouldy....
and then one day I was weeding and behind a clump of spinach, I found one growing.
A lovely, lovely oak... so if yours don't do anything, even after 8 months don't give up.. just keep them watered.
I've been reading some of the comments and I just want to make it clear that the invaginated tetrapacks were used for presentation purposes only, (they are a recycled item that looks nice with a plant in it.) any container will do, of course, and its best to take the shoot out of the container before planting outside.
Did anybody who read this successfully grow any oaks?

What a beautiful little tree! I am trying to grow acorns with my pre-school class. We planted some that had already started to sprout, so fingers crossed!
