Every now and then I do a Google search on some anthropomorphic feeling/action + oaks just to see what I come up with. I've done happy oaks, sad oaks, funny oaks etc. What I find is often the inspiration for a post. Some of which actually get written and posted.
Today it was dancing + oaks. It led directly to, surprisingly enough, Dancing Oaks Nursery in Oregon. What a great name! They specialize in unique plants from around the world. What does this mean in terms of oak offerings?
Emperor oak, Q. dentata (aka Daimyo oak) - A medium sized oak with massive leaves that turn russet/orange in fall and are persistent in winter. Asian. Awesome. I'd kill for some acorns (hint, hint).
And a cutleaf version of Emperor oak. I must grow one someday. Yes I'm in zone 4. I take that as a challenge.
