Are there others noticing a dearth of Red Oak acorns this fall?  Just about
all our Red Oaks  have dropped their leaves due to strong winds and rain,
especially in the last week, earlier than usual, but where are the acorns...


Last year we had a bumper crop.  Would the sharp freeze we had in early June
have had an impact on the oaks developing their fruit?  Sadly I remember
many trees in our backyard dropping branch 'tips' shortly after the early
June freeze, and not just oaks. Maples and poplars took quite a beating too.

 

A friend mentioned her English or White Oaks have produced an abundance of
acorns  this year. Maybe location and variety of oak trees have played a
part in supply of acorns?

 

Cheers,
