Lots and lots of them for the deer and squirrels! But this photo was taken in September 2011. There's hardly any acorns in the pin oak tree this year and I have no clue why. =( I went digging through my old photo folders to find this one. It was just wishful thinking.
@linnypinny Thank you, Lin! It's been hotter longer than normal here in the midlands of South Carolina this year. I wonder if the heat has had an effect. Or maybe not enough pollinators?
@linnypinny Just found this info... Summer Tree Stressors
A treeâs stress can be from too much rain, too little rain, a too-hot summer, or other factors. But itâs usually dependent on local conditions. In fact, just like âmast yearsâ can happen in Virginia but not in neighboring North Carolina, the same is true for stressed-out trees dropping green acorns. Itâs not happening everywhere.
great shot, it was really a beautiful tree with many acorns, I like acorns I collect them and then I do small jobs for Christmas....I'm sorry that this year was not prolific, obviously this crazy climate has effected
