Oak crop in your area

[JeepKuntry]

I was out for between 2 to 3 hours and saw no good oaks on the ground. Guess most of the feed sign I saw was a couple weeks old. What had dropped was either tiny or rotten. Hope yalls are better than that place.

Red oaks and white oaks are dropping heavily in my area of NE TN. Seems to be a great crop again this year. One area I hunt at they started dropping the beginning of September of course that is higher elevation and it seems to have now hit our area. When outside all you hear is acorns dropping through the leaves.

Mountain Chestnut dropping, only Whiteoak on the ground has been blown out by wind but trees are loaded, and Red Oaks are a bit spotty, I'd guess 50% have acorns. Wayne Co.

Lots of acorns of all types in my neck of the woods

A little weak yet in Coffee Co. Either not much of a crop or not dropping heavy yet.

Small White Oak acorns in the trees in my yard. Have several trees. Not dropping yet either. Looks like they are behind last year in production. Hickory trees doing well and so are the tree rats.

Hickman county has a lot of chestnut oak acorns on the ground. There are some red oaks falling. White oaks are loaded. Wind has blown some white oaks out but most are still in the trees. There is also a bumper crop of persimmons and muscadines. Last year there was none of the above. When I say none I mean none.

On my place in VA it's a bust. Only a few red oaks producing a small amount. Persimmons and apples also a bust. Wild pears are plenty though.

This. Mountain Chestnut acorns starting to fall. Biggest crop for that species in my area in many years. Whites have a massive crop but haven't started dropping yet (except a few blown out by winds). Reds in my area VERY spotty. maybe 5% have acorns.

This exactly. Last year in Humphreys, had zero acorns, zero persimmons, and zero muscadines. Drought wiped us out.

Nope. Clusters of 3 or 4, yes. But in that one picture they're hanging like grapes!

Couple days ago when I walked part of my farm I noticed a few white oaks that are pretty loaded. I did see a few tiny acorns on the ground, that probably fell before they were ready.
