“…and birch [Betula spp.) were generally found to be unsuitable for direct seeding, while species with large seeds such as the oaks, black cherry (Prunus serotina L.), and black walnut shaowed some promise of success (Scholz 1964, Huntzinger 1967, Bjorkbom 1969, Russell 1971. Although little is known at present about the best method of direct seeding, it may have a place as a supplement to natural regeneration during poor seed years in strip and group shelterwood cuts.…”

Most hardwood species can be planted successfully but plantation establishment is generally more difficult and more expensive for hardwoods than for conifers. For satisfactory growth most upland hardwood species demand a deep, fertile, moist but well drained soil. Intensive weed control during the early years after planting is an absolute necessity. Fertilization at time of planting has generally failed to promote seedling growth. Protection from girdling by mice and browsing by rabbits may be necessary during the early years after planting.

Although natural regeneration is often the best method for establishing new oak (Quercus spp.) stands, there are increasingly more situations in which high potential for oak regeneration failure dictates the use of artificial regeneration including direct seeding and planting seedlings. Additionally, afforestation planting programs frequently incorporate oak species. Artificial regeneration of oak stands is challenging for numerous reasons. In this article we synthesize the current state of knowledge regarding growing and planting the major oak species in the eastern United States, point out critical research gaps, and provide some general growing, planting, and stand tending guidelines and recommendations. Adequate site preparation, careful planting of healthy, genetically adapted seed or seedlings of high morphological and physiological quality, and subsequent control of competing vegetation and browse damage are necessary actions to assure regeneration success. Oak seedling survival in the early years after planting or seeding is a poor indicator of regeneration success. Successful regeneration may be defined as having a desired proportion of the oak planting stock reach dominant/codominant status in the stand. The costs of all activities required to produce a successful oak tree in the future stand should be considered in economic comparison of alternative prescriptions for oak regeneration.
