By the time the tree is 70 to 80 years old it will produce thousands of acorns. The oak trees produce acorns once a year during the fall. Acorn production varies year to year and normally alternates. Not even the healthiest and largest oak can accumulate enough food and energy to produce strong crops two years in succession. Real strong acorn productions might happen every four to ten years. In addition, a late spring frost can blight the flowers which prevents acorn development. Droughts and insect ravages can decimate crops. Acorn production will increase year after year; following a similar pattern as the size of the tree's canopy. The following graph shows what a typical production for an oak tree might be -- assuming no drastic jumps, which happen from time to time. The chart shows that production starts very slowly at around the 25th year, the number of acorns produced then accelerates, and when the tree reaches about 100 years of age, it starts slowing down until it reaches a yearly production of about 2,200 acorns per year. :endsnip: |
