An abundance of acorns typically indicates a plentiful mast year, where many trees produce a large crop of acorns. This can have ecological impacts, such as providing ample food for wildlife like squirrels and deer, as well as potentially influencing seedling recruitment and forest regeneration. Additionally, it may also suggest environmental conditions favorable for tree reproduction and growth.
The pin oak Quercus palustrus produces acorns in the Autumn
Oak trees typically take around 20-50 years to produce their first crop of acorns. The ability of an oak tree to produce acorns can also depend on factors like the tree's health, environmental conditions, and species of oak. Once an oak tree begins producing acorns, it can continue to do so for hundreds of years.
For the same reason an Oak tree produces so many acorns. So that maybe one of them manages to make it to the egg and fertilize it.
