Looking good so far. Nuts have been few and far between past 3 years. First year I can ever remember not getting a freeze in May

We had some late freezes around here, but I haven't been able to look at the canopies to see what the oaks are holding yet.
 
We do not have the acorn crops like we use to. They've been spraying for Gypsy moths for awhile now thinking they could be a reason. We had a bumper crop in 2014 and the last one before that was 2008 and hardly anything since. In the lowlands it seems like they have nuts every year. It's weird

Where at? I looked back and it did Frost May 1 then never got back in the 30s. That was for Mountain City

Was in Rhea last weekend and did not see any acorns - wasn't able to check really high in the canopy. Hope they are there, though!
 
Edge trees in this area are absolutely loaded, remains to be seen if they are all good but so far looks like we may have a bumper crop in this area! Whites and Reds I have checked.
 
We've had a couple really good acorn years here in northeast Tennessee, especially last year. However, the whites haven't been producing much at all in my areas. Honestly, I wish they would be a little more scarce this year. My food plot in one of my areas gets a lot of action when the browse dries up

I haven't checked yet but if ouir mast crop is the same as last year I will post a video. It was like a torrential downpour or a hailstorm in the woods. Crazy!
 
I've got a red oak in my backyard that's is covered in acorns. It didn't produce hardly in last year. I will check my White oaks tomorrow.
