Looking for some Escarpment/Quartz Mountain Live Oak Saplings. I believe the correct terminology is fusiformus. They’re the northern most isolated population of live oaks and can withstand the Oklahoma winters. I’m wanting to plant several, but the only place I’ve been able to find, Sunshine Farm & Nursery in Clinton, is sold out until the fall of ‘24 crop is ready (and they won’t sell me acorns). I’m hoping someone on here may have some direction for me.

I’m also looking to plant some fruit and/or nut trees that will do well in S Central OK, other than pecan (got plenty of those around). This will be a small grove behind my house that I will intersperse with small gardens in between. I’m wanting hardy trees that won’t take lots of care, but provide some passive sustenance for us.

We are kinda late in the season, Willis orchards in GA specialises in varieties that do well in the South, but their shelves a a bit bare right now. Willis Orchard Company

Burnt ridge nursery in WA is a permaculture nursery hand has great prices and reasonable shipping, I am trying their stock in OK for the first time this year but generally plants going from north to south do well as opposed to the other way around Burnt Ridge Nursery & Orchards | Fruit Trees, Nut Trees, Berries for Sale | Buy Plants Online

Both of the above stock mayhaws and pawpaws

I recommend peaches and plums for our climate. Currants express is lily the native golden current should do good. Also look into sea berry for nitrogen fixing. OSU has great info on home fruit growing. I appreciate your tree nerddom, can't help on the oak though.

I have never in my life seen a plum tree in person. That'd be kind of cool to have in a friend's backyard
