The garden I was in on Thursday is dominated by an enormous Oak - you need hard hat and flak jacket when under the canopy

NO shortage there, enough scope to cover the whole of the UK with trees I shouldn't wonder!

Now, there's a thought!

I have an oak wood and there are hundreds of thousands of them in the woods and garden - how many do you want?

Apparently oaks can go for years without producing many acorns. They only produce a bumper crop after a few years, then they go back to producing not a lot. I don't know if it's the case for ALL the oaks in a certain area (and therefore could be environmentally influenced), but I know that's definitely the case!

I'm wondering if its because we had an almost 100% dry September around here...

Loads on my plot, they fall off the tree and hit a metal shed a couple of plots away and I jump every bloomin time lol.

I wonder if the shortage of Bees has got anything to do with it..

I was at Westonbirt Arboretum at the weekend and commenting on how tall one of the trees was and BAMMMMM an acorn flew from the sky and hit me on the cheek..OUCH

So if flying acorns count then there are some over in Gloucestershie

I went to Coleshill this morning there is a fair few oak trees on the way about 5 miles and not a single one on the road squashed usually this time of the year the roads are a real mess with squashed acorns.
It do's seem a bit of a mystery..
