Default RE: What are those Big green Balls??

ORIGINAL: whitetailsoldier

What kind of oak produces the best acorns for feeding of deer.
I know we have alot of oaks but rarely acorns.
Is there a specific oak??
Deer seem to prefer white oaks ( a group of oaks that tend to have round lobed leaves) but these often only produce acorns bi-annually. Red oaks (pointy leaves) tend to produce more annually. Depends on which area you live in as to what type of oaks are available. There's also beechnuts, chinqapins, chestnuts, persimmons, apples, locust pods and many other mast crops.
