    Hi everyone, new here (hello!) and I'm here out of desperation.

    Family tradition is to start a tree from seed at life milestones, such as birth, christening, etc.

    My baby boy just had his first birthday and will be christened this weekend.

    We'd like to start an oak tree from seed but I can't locate any acorns anywhere. I hope someone here has some I could buy.

    Failing that, I'd be happy to get any quality tree seeds - perhaps a maple (my wife likes deciduous) or some really interesting evergreen.

    I am skillful with propagation, and this tree would be well cared for until we found a permanent place to plant it.

    if you can help me out in the next few days or direct me to a resource who can, please PM me.

    Thanks so much for your time!

    I don't have any oaks, but have walnuts, hickories, ginkos and a few other seeds that I can give you for such a noble purpose. I also have some just emerging seedling trees, and a few one year old trees that you may be interested in. PM me if interested. I'm in Squamish.
