Was down along the crick this morning and none of the oaks have acorns growing yet. I figured by this time they should be growing. We had some really late cold weather. May be a rough winter for squirrels and deer. Anybody seeing acorns yet?

What kind of oaks are they? Reds are two-year oaks though you probably ought to be able to see some nubs where they were fertilized this year.

In my experience, Yes. I have had ill timed spring storms knock off the Catkins (the stringy flower part) on my Oaks/Walnuts and have had no mast that year. Red Oaks require 2 years for the nut to mature.

I believe these are white oaks. Whatever grows all over Nebraska. Last year they were loaded with small acorns.

Red oaks have pointy leaves, white are more rounded

Our red oaks and beech nut are loaded. I haven’t checked the chestnut oaks yet. I’m not sure if the beech nuts have any meat in them either. Our hickory produce every year I believe they don’t flower until later in the spring thus avoiding the chance of frost destroying the nut crop. Apple trees are also loaded. Southern Vermont.

Red oaks here are loaded. We had a record breaking, wet, spring. Maybe that is why.

Acorns are really tiny here yet, things should start to change pretty fast soon though.

Bur oak is what we have. I guess it's a crap shoot.
