I'm sitting in a tin trailer at work and I keep hearing acorns hit the roof. Is this early?

The acorn crops have been great the last few years and last year they started dropping early as well so could be the beginning of them falling if I remember correctly I believe they were coming down pretty heavy by the second week of September [confusedagain]

If there is a good mast crop they will start to fall in mid-July. A decent crop should have them falling in August then September. Some individual trees have different timeing and in general- chestnut and whites are early and reds and blacks come later.

Hey GG - you down with rock oak hollow??

Last year we had a record acorn crop both in size and quantity. Based on the initial acorns hitting my driveway it looks a disaster this year. We had plenty of rain and I have several oaks that benefit from irrigation yet the initial droppings are puny, maybe 1/8" in size. Really not edible, not developed. Last year they were huge and there are still some around from that crop but it looks bleak for this year. Recent storms knocked some down and they are really small:( [down]

Look for spots in the woods with lots of last years shells on the ground and hunt there.
