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
