acorns in california

locust
18 years ago

Last year there was a HUGE crop of acorns from Quercus lobata (valley oak) in my area outside the Bay Area, California. They covered parking lots, trails, and forest understories. It was incredible. I harvested some of them, and they tasted great. This year, I was excited to gather more, but none of the trees have any acorns. Not one! I have heard that they produce crops in different cycles. Okay. So my question is, would the valley oaks 100 or so miles away (or more or less) be on the same cycle? Are there any Quercus lobata acorns in California this year?
