You can grow oaks in Caithness, I have several. Some bought in containers, and grown quite a few from acorns, acquired on my travels. It takes patience, but well worth the effort.

Little acorns
Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to grow oak in Caithness? I haven't seen any up here, but there is a small, miserable-looking one outside the toilets in Lairg. (I don't know whether it's miserable because of the toilets or the climate) I have some acorns I'd like to try, but don't know whether it's worth it.

Scunner - what a great idea. Did you have to soak the acorns first, or do anything special to them ?
I have about twenty trees in pots.. including a wonderful Weeping Silver birch, which has been in the pot for almost 30years !
Have you read The Man Who Planted Trees ? I'm sure you would enjoy it.
It's by Jean Giono....
I must try the acorns,

I put them into some damp compost. Some sprouted quite soon, others took up to a year. I still have one, and i'm hoping someday it may sprout.
