Acorns?

Mister Sifter

Anyone know where one would find acorns in Dublin?

at the risk of soundng facetious, on oak trees. but you've picked a bad time of year if you want to harvest them yourself; and buying seed commercially is probably a non-runner - you may be able to pop into coillte nurseries and be cheeky and ask for a handful for free, but it's probably not worth a trip down to carlow unless you already live nearby.

long story short - if you want oaks, you may be just best buying them bare root.

Thanks, i appreciate the response. Not an ideal time of year to be looking for them it seems. Worth trying a florist perhaps?

i don't think florists would carry them as stock - it's not something i think they'd sell in any amount. what do you need them for? to let kids plant some?

I'm looking to get one for a picture. Not to worry. Thanks for your help anyway! Much appreciated.
