What are yall seeing on your trees? The sawtooths here at the office, which dump tons every september, seem bare. Could we be seeing a short acorn crop?

Yeah I noticed my sawtooths didn’t have a single acorn on them. No white oaks were showing either. Them corn piles better be high this year

Sawtooths suffered from another late freeze event from central AL north. I haven’t hardly seen a tree with acorns.

Red oaks are loaded in places. I have only checked a couple of white oaks and they’re hit or miss, like always.

One things for certain, them yellow acorns be falling and the leafs will be up and down the side of the road..

Gonna be tons of acorns falling just like every yr

If your area has "tons" of acorns every year , that area is the exception . Acorns as a norm are cyclical and bout every 4 years there's either a near or complete failure.

Yup

Yep. There’s definitely not tons of acorns every year. Acorn success or failure is directly correlated with body mass and antler growth the following spring. It’s also a very consistent indicator of overall hunter success and deer sightings in fall. It’s definitely cyclical.

He’s the exception to everything.

I think my sawtooths are gonna be bare again this year. Only a few on some trees.

My sawtooths are few and far between. My young chestnut trees are loaded for the first time.

Less acorns the better…for killin…i couldnt care less about a horn…i just wanna stack bodies

Not seeing as many in the yard as normally do.

I checked 20-25 sawtooths today. May be a few acorns to none on them but very scattered. These trees are 12-15 years old. I’ve seen a tree skip a year but have not seen any thing like this.
2 red oaks in my yard are loaded and dropping due to the dry weather. Jackson Co.

Went looking today, checked a few white oaks and they were bare. The water oaks were also bare. Found a series of giant red oaks that had a few. Looking pretty slim around me in central Alabama.

Let me go ahead and interject this before we get too far along, yard Oaks are a poor predicter of acorn production in the woods.
