Index of Subjects Lousy cone production of hemlocks too. Looked around this year, in light of the adelgid threat and possibilities for seed-banking. -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of Judy Tufts Sent: November 7, 2018 5:49 PM To: NatureNS Subject: [NatureNS] lack of acorns? 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?
