re: Acorn crop this year

I'm about an hour south of San Antonio and I have several large oaks on my property. The majority of them have fewer acorns, but they are larger in size this year then years past. I have one particular tree that produced smaller acorns and the amount it produced was amazing. They started dropping a month ago. All live oak.

I am hunting on a lease North of Provencal, almost to highway 1. I've been looking for weeks in the bottoms for acorns and literally have found 3.

White oaks may drop every year, but they have a bumper crop every other year.
I’m in SW MS and have had 3/4” in a single rain around Oct 1ish since July 10th. I’ve got 15 acres of sawtooths and zero acorns. Water oaks are like the OP said, even smaller than blueberries. Some white oaks along my creeks are looking like they may produce but have not started falling yet.

Bumper crop in NWLA.

Not always true, and there's research to support that. It varies by species, and some may only have a bumper crop twice in a 10 year period.

That could definitely be the case when there are years like this when we had a very late hard freeze (and/or) followed by a drought. Ive often read that cow oaks and what I call a standard white oak will produce bumpers every 3 years. What I’ve witnessed on my place in SW MS over the last 15 years is it’s usually every other year….or sometimes every 3rd year, but that’s without any unusual weather phenomena.
