How to Make Oak Trees Produce More Acorns for Deer. It's Not What You Might Think.

[@jesse44991]

Question! Will a pollard oak tree new growth produce acorns, and if so is It immediate or in the next couple of years?

[@inmybible6975]

I've been wondering this too. Might take 2-5 years depending on the variety since some of them take that long to produce - or at least to have a mast year.

Good to know I have many white and red oaks Thank you

I planted one of these about 6 inches tall and in 5 years it's at 15 feet tall. I wouldn't be surprised if it is putting on acorns in 10 years. Growing fast.

This is going to help me a lot. We have swamp chestnut trees on our property. We will start thing around them.

Glad this will be useful to you! Good luck with the project.

in the past, i’ve selectively watered some Swamp Chestnuts in drought conditions, using 500-1000gallons dripped at the base of each tree. has to be of some benefit.

I’ve been putting fertilizer in a coffee can (punctured holes in can) buried about 8-10 inches deep 5-6 feet away from the root ball for about 10 years. It works. Sunlight and room to grow is common sense.

[@chrise4994]

@Mr. Cool Yep. The older the tree, the deeper the can.

[@lpburke86]

Multi year college study with multiple trees in multiple groups : “Your fertilizer literally does jack shit for your acorns. None. Nada. Zilch.” This idiot: “iT WoRkS. I kNoW iT dOeS. I dOnT nEeD fAcTs”

[@chrise4994]

@Mr. Cool the first 10 years is considered “new”

[@lpburke86]

@@chrise4994 yeah…. So does sun and room. And this is about Acorns. Not trees.

[@derekrogers5858]

Well damn

[@DeerAssociation]

You must have fertilized a lot of oak trees?

[@thomaseubank1503]

Too thick of a forest and you may never see the deer.
