Preferred Soil Type
- In NZ the trees flourish on well drained soils with good moisture
- will not perform well in heavy continuously wet soils including those with high water tables.
- Planted on steep low moisture content soils they're are initially
slower growing but once their roots penetrate the sub soil they are performing well
- The soils of the mid Himalaya’s are fragile, containing broken Mica Schist, Granite etc.
caused by seismic upheavals 60 - 70 million years ago.
Today, the soil in which the remaining forests are growing has high levels of organic
carbon content, is loamy, acid to neutral and excessively drained. The Banj Oaks have
adapted to these conditions sending their roots deep into the subsoil.

You can sow immediately or hold in a plastic container in a fridge for up to 3 weeks (stratification).
sow either into small pots or root trainers and pot into Pb3 or Pb5 bags
It’s important the plants only remain in bags for 1 season otherwise they can become root bound. Should this happen, the roots should be pruned on planting.
Direct sowing of acorns has been done successfully in India. Success depends on weed and predator control for the first 2yrs.
