[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5740905, member: 17"] The last two big acorn crops in my area (2021 and this year), we saw a strange acorn drop, and in both years it was due to dry conditions in September. When the trees are stressed by late drought, they will dump all of the nuts/fruit they cannot carry to maturity. For White Oaks, this drop occurs very late September into early October. This is what has the ground cover in acorns now. But if you cut some of these acorns open, many aren't fully developed inside. The drop of all the acorns the trees [B]could carry to maturity[/B] usually occurs las week of October and first week of November. In 2021, we saw a huge dump of under-developed acorns the first week of October. Yet the trees were still loaded with acorns. The final drop of good acorns occurred first week of November, right at opening of MZ. We nearly had to wear hardhats in stand we were getting bonked in the head so often. I expect to see the same thing this year. [/QUOTE]
