Red Oak Propagation at the Griffith State Nursery, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin

Annual seedling goals at Griffith are approximately 1 million bareroot red oak seedlings. We sell both 1+0 and 2+0 seedlings. Red Oak has become a major species in our nurseries over the past 15 years. In 1986, statewide distribution of red oak was 325,000 (1% of state production). Of this, 76,000 were from Griffith. In 1999, red oak distribution hit 2.7 million (13% of total production). We have learned a lot in the past 15 years. Current specifications for red oak at Griffith are as follows: 1+0: 6" top, 8" root, and 1/s" caliper 2+0: 10" top, 8" root and 3/16" caliper
