[QUOTE="TNlandowner, post: 5728481, member: 3026"] Our farm is located in Carroll County (western TN). In 2009, we reforested around 7 acres of former pasture land with sawtooth and nutall oaks (red oak family). We mowed the area twice each summer for the first few years to remove over-crowding and shading of the young saplings. The sawtooth oaks began dropping acorns in 2018. These trees drop acorns in late September through mid-October. Our deer herd hammers this area until the native white oak and red oaks drop acorns. The Nutall Oaks still are not producing acorns, but we didn't expect them to drop until year 20. So for fast acorn production: consider the sawtooths. For long-term production and timber value, consider native oaks that are already in your area. [/QUOTE]
