I'm growing an oak tree from an acorn and it's much easier than you might think – here's how you can do it too

Can you grow an oak tree from an acorn.

Propagation is one of my favorite things to do. It's a rewarding feeling to be able to multiply your indoor and outdoor plants, and I love to share my propagations with friends and family. That's why I decided to take on the challenge of multiplying something I haven't done before - an oak tree.

While it can sound daunting to propagate a tree, I've found it's actually quite straightforward. Just like it's possible to grow a tree from a branch, you can also grow an oak tree from an acorn. Through hydroponic gardening, you can easily take this fruit of the oak tree and use it grow a brand new one for no cost. This is good news if you're a fan of the shapely foliage of oaks and want to have more in your backyard.
