So my daughters want to grow a tree from a seed or small sapling. They have gathered acorns from an White Oak and planted them in a pot. They have also grabbed some Black walnuts with the husk on hoping to plant these also. What would be the best choice to go with. I live in Northern Illinois, in a newer subdivision and the soil has got a Higher pH. It is clay underneath the topsoil. My backyard retains moisture after a rain but never has standing water in it. It is a southwest exposure that will experience wind. I was also thinking of purchasing a swamp white or bald cypress instead of hoping a seed will grow. Any suggestions would help.
