Today I learned that Chestnut oak acorns are born and mature on the current
wood.

Red oaks - their acorns are born one year and do not mature until the
following year. So they mature on last years wood.

Now I do not have a degree, but you can see this for yourself.

I am still waiting for Don Staples to define what a forest is to him. After
all he claims to be a forester and attacks other people for whatever cause.
