Acorn question???
While checking out my land last weekend in western NYS, I noticed quite a few green acorns on the ground. Just a short stem attached to it. There was no sign of squirrels being the culprit. I know my fruit trees at home have been dropping apples, and I am thinking that it is drought stress related. It has been so dry here. Anybody noticed this or have any thoughts???

BlueJays. They go after the hazelnuts before they're ripe too. Get out the shotgun.
