We launched a study on germination of cork oak (Quercus suber). Our tests failed because of contamination, despite the sterilization of the acorns by the bleach solution. How to eliminate these contaminations that block germination? What is the best way to germinate acorns? and if you have any documents on this subject. Thank you in advance for all your help.

Dear Benamar Benmahioul
I have some experiences on Q. brantii, which is growing in Zagros mountain range of Iran. In fact for the mentioned species it is a mater of time. I planted about 4000 seeds directly in a field experiment during late October and they started to germinate during mid April, next year. Meanwhile majority of the seeds germinated and the seedling were growing during last growing season.
Freshly seeds can germinate easily. After a long time storage > 2 months, embryonic dormancy will settle and the seeds will be difficult to germinate.
