Chestnut oak belongs to the group of white oaks, which are fundamentally different from the red-oak group in many ways. One
important difference is the germination time. White oaks germinate immediately upon dissemination, before the onset of the
winter weather. This strategy gives them an advantage in spring, but at the same time leaves tender youngsters vulnerable
during the winter. Red oaks do not take the risk and germinate only in spring.
