Watch an oak tree growing from an acorn to a young plant over 133 days in this timelapse. We picked white oak because it can be germinated immediately without a need for coldstratification 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.
