Those coming to the IOS Conference in Davis, California in October will see one of the best oak collections in the U.S. We invite you to include in your travel plans a visit to a different world, the Southeastern U.S.!
Growing in Aiken, South Carolina you can see what is possibly the most diverse collection of ex-situ and in-situ oak species in the U.S. It appears that there will be a great acorn crop on most oaks including many rare species. Aiken is near Augusta, Georgia and is one hour from Columbia, South Carolina and about three hours from Atlanta, Georgia. Y'all come! Contact Bob McCartney at woodland@scbn.net
