I just came back from my lease and while scouting i found 3 big whiteoaks. I have hurd that they do not produce every year, was wondering if that was true, and if it is to late to fetlizle them??

Jeff Phillips said:Our weather has been real good for acorn production so we could still have a good crop.
Red oaks take 2 years to produce acorns and white oaks take 1 year. With the right conditions those trees could be loaded again this year.
If you want to fertilize them wait until Nov. or Dec. and broadcast 10-10-10 at 2# per inch of diameter between the trunk and the dripline.

This tree will have droppings all under it and the leaves will be tromped down. I've saw deer walk past several other trees that were dropping acorns just to eat the acorns off of this tree. If you find a tree like this hunt it, I'll promise you that you will see deer.
