Growing Oak Tree From Acorn Seed Time Lapse (133 Days)

Watch an oak tree growing from an acorn to a young plant over 133 days in this time-lapse. We picked white oak because it can be germinated immediately without a need for cold-stratification like red oaks. To speed up the germinating stage, we wrapped the seed in a paper towel, moisten it and sealed in a ziplock bag for 6 days. It was then sowed into soil. The seed sprouted fast and developed its first batch of leaves within 20 days. By the 4th month, the plant reached over a foot in height.
