its sad to see so many tree species getting hammered by bugs anymore
I lost a lot of tree's over the last decade due to bugs getting in them and killing them or just slowing killing them, making them ticking time bombs now

and isn;t always easy to knock them down without doing damage to healthy tree's

some of my fruit tree's this yr did better than they have the past 4-5 yrs, we had a much slower warm up and not late frost this yr for a change, which I am sure helped a lot

as for acorns not such a great yr again/
been a few yrs now since I seen a good acorn mast crop here

cherry tree's and chestnuts have pretty good take though, but again NO late frost I think is key on them

odd part on my apples tree;s , or seems new to me,
is, they seemed to stop at one size and just stopped growing, from there on, , and there falling off at a high rate already, deer are not even eating them like they used too, as there mostly all green on the ground, falling off so early, must be a little sour even for them! as I notice they prefer the one's that are more rotten, been laying about a while!
