Interesting looking site, didn't sign up yet, haven't decided. I did read the MO harvest article, and interesting read that because of the early spring frost was the cause of low acorn production. Funny, I got a close friend in the MO. Dept of Conservation, who is a biologist, who told me that (I'll paraphrase as best as I can remember) "acorn productionof the current year, is established by conditions from a previous year" meaning, that what that oak tree experienced in climate conditions this spring, will not effect it's acorn production. Acorn production is a delayed process persay. Hope ya understand what I'm trying to say.
