This July and August, the WDBJ7 Weather Center has received numerous photos of green acorns covering the ground across the region. The acorns are green, which indicate the trees are dropping them prematurely. Mature acorns are typically tan and often fall during the months of September and October. While an early acorn drop doesn't always indicate a serious problem with the trees, it can mean they are struggling.
Production of acorns increases each year in proportion to the size of the oak tree's canopy. When oak trees reach near 100 years old, the acorn production slows to a yearly rate of 2,200. Even though oak trees have both male and female flowers, they still need neighboring oaks to pollinate.
