Planting trees sounds fine to me, just go for a walk and pick some up. Then you can see what the parent tree looks like. It's going to take me a long time though, even for small ones. Rooting tree cuttings could shave off a year or so, but there's really not much I can do, until spring. Except, read all the stuff I can find on the web. The squirrels keep taking the acorns from my garden though, guess I'll keep some in a jar, with other seeds. Still debating on keeping them in the fridge, or out in the cold.
