Yes. They also store acorns, hazel nuts and beech seeds by pushing
them into the ground, where forgotten ones germinate the next spring.

I've got a thirty or forty foot oak tree in my garden that i allowed to
grow when it sprouted in my garden about 15 years ago. No idea where the
acorn had come from as there aren't any nearby oaks.
So it could have been a squirrel or a jay that brought it about!
