The Living Forest (150) : Birth of an oak

A new oak is born in the forest !

After becoming ripe and red, this acorn (the nut of an oak tree) germinated naturally on the place where it fell or where it once was buried by a jay or a squirrel.

The acorn itself is not any longer on the ground, but extends a few inches in the air at the root that grows already in the ground.

Dutch name : Zomereik
German name : Stieleiche
Latin name : Quercus robur

Stunning Picture Mark! We have many oak where I live and I have often seen them germinate, but never even thought it may make such an interesting picture. Well done

Great observation and fine sharp capture - seldom do we see the birth of a new tree .... but I get a lot of horse chestnuts and hazelnuts sprouting .... and have to pull some of them out again.
greetings, Adele

Great shot! Very beautiful macro.
Every year at me in a garden some oaks which "have been planted" by the squirrel grow ...:-))
