Covering for Sgt. Dan
Here in OK, we had an early tree green up this past spring. Then on Easter morning, April 8th, NE OK, had a killing freeze, think teens, odd for OK that time of year. Most of the hardwood tree leaves and flowers were wilted from the freeze and died. So as a knowledgeable tree person a hunter ask you how will the oak acorn crop be affected by the past late spring freeze. A reduction in acorns is not what I'm looking for.

Very hungry squirrels? ;-)

Re: The squirrels....
will more than likely move to the other side of the mountain because of this problem, come this fall.
Re: The squirrels....
Would this be related to a mast year?
Re: The squirrels....Hint
Not real sure where you are coming from here, Dan. If you are speaking of a bumper crop year for acorns or the opposite, then no that is not the answer I'm looking for.
Hint: It's Red and White
Re: another Hint
Has to do with the red and white oak making babies
Re: Covering for Sgt. Dan, answer
It takes white oaks one year to make an acorn, red oaks two. So the freeze got the white oaks for this years crop, at least most of them. So red oak acorns will available this year. Usually, red oak dominate the drier site, south aspect etc. I would expect deers to be on these drier sites this year looking for an acorn meal. Thanks for playing, Dan and Tommy.
