Question Hi There
For the last 20 yrs my yard is full of acorns in the fall, this year not one single acorn fell, I'm stumped, why, are my trees sick, does it mean mild winter also there are hardly any squirrel's
Answer The saying is “an unusual abundance of acorns” could be a sign of a very rough winter. The theory is that the more acorns, the more food for the squirrels. About every 5-8 years, oak trees have a major production of acorns. One would say that his or her trees were dropping acorns like rain last year but it was a mild winter.
If there is not an abundance of acorns this year, never fear, that year will be here soon.
