Graham M Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty (50) years of age or older. This most certainly isn't true, because I helped my granddaughter to plant an acorn when she was 2 years old. She is now 11 years old and the tree is @9 ft tall and absolutely full of acorns and has been for the last two seasons. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
