I have another oak tree in my back yard that is about the same size and it
looks like there are about the same amount of acorns on the ground there as
I raked up from the tree in my front yard.
Has anyone else noticed such an over abundance of acorns on their oak trees
this year?

Hi Freckles, just to confirm your observations re acorns, I too have noticed the massive crop being carried by oaks and also here in Cornwall the berries
on the holly trees this year is staggering, of course, all the old sages will be fortelling of the bad winter to come but I HOPE these excessive crops are a
reflection of a good early spring, plenty of rain in August and then an incredibly warm clement Autumn.
