fricking acorns
Posted on 11/2/25 at 9:48 pm

Last year I don't think I had 20 acorns drop all year. This year there's at least 400,000 and growing.
Worse than fricking Legos when I decide to be super lazy and walk my dog barefoot.
What is the deal? Is there like a farmers almanac for when acorn-geddon is going to happen?
This has been going on a solid month and driving the dogs nuts. They hear the acorn land and they're all over it.
One of my idiot dogs keeps sneaking them inside. I try to check him when I bring him in and I'll be damned if an hour later I don't catch him with 3 or 4 acorns.

I have so many acorns on my property right now the deer don't even give a shite if we are around. They just keep on eating, the dogs and kids have gotten within 10-15 feet of them before they take off.

My old lab would stay outside eating them for hours. The deer didn't even pay him any attention. He was just one of them
. They're supposed to be toxic to dogs but he was 14 and I figured I'd let him have fun. Posted on 11/3/25 at 7:54 am to CAD703X
Not seeing any acorns on the oaks around my house in Lafayette.

I'll take the them over my 1,000 magnolia red seaded hand grenades .

Every few years they super produce, sounds like it's your year.

My neighbor has a huge oak tree beside his driveway and we were talking in front of the house yesterday and there was a steady "plink" of acorns hitting the cars in the driveway and tons of them already on the ground.
Don't know where you are, but here in Mid-City N.O. it's raining acorns.

Let Martha explain it to you
All nut bearing trees have mast years from time to time. It is a vital part of Nature.

You haven't lived until you've walked under a black walnut tree in the Fall.
Those damn things hitting a metal roof will give a man 'Nam flashbacks, even if he wasn't alive during the war.

I picked up a 5 gallon bucket full of Swamp Chestnut acorns from one tree at my office. That was only off the concrete I did not even bother with the ones in the grass. Bumper crop this year.

I have a hickory above my tin roof shed. It will wake you up in the middle of the night it's so loud.

I’m plagued with hickory nuts that become machine gun bullets when I mow. I usually have to use a reacher and fill buckets before mowing.

black walnuts... and the oaks,
This plus some osage orange dropping bombs in back-back yard.
Get a workout chucking those out of the mowing right of way.

At least you’ll be able to lower the boom on some deer in your backyard this year

I could have posted this, except the neighbor's tree is so big that it drops on my driveway as well. My driveway stayed covered in acorns, despite frequent cleanups, for weeks.
They've about stopped dropping, but the yard around the tree has a solid carpet of acorns under the grass. Hard to walk on.

Exceptional crop in my neighborhood too.
Backyard is buried in a layer about 3 acorns deep
I’ve asked myself like a half dozen times if I’m just getting old and moody or if it’s actually like triple the normal amount
