planting acorns upside down

got my acorns from the fridge in winter
they were shooting nicely
planted the shoot down
sometime later in observing them I managed to convince myself I had potted them upside down
so I changed half of them up the other way (called a dollar each way bet)
some of them turned over
hey the shoot and root seem to be coming from the same end!

so here is a picture than sorts the whole thing out AND with great beauty!!!

Neat!

I would lay them on their sides, as that is how they are sprouting in my yard. 

i just poke them in the ground point down and they always grow.

The sprout comes out the pointy end. 

The shoot will grow towards the sun whichever way you plant it. Aren't plants neat?

about 35 to 40 years ago I found hundreds of sprouting acorns on my sisters property, and I gathered up about a dozen of them and planted them here..in a nice  row along our road..well my FIL had alzheimers and took the riding mower and mowed them down..but 2 survived..and they are growing nicely..i do think they did have the root and shoot coming out the same spot..i don't remember if I planted them any special way, I think I just put them fairly shallow in the soil with some foresty duff over them and a little soil and they sent their root where they wanted to put it..one is about 40 to 50 feet high now..the other that got mowed worse is about 30'
