The fruit is an acorn, 8–12 millimeters (5 ⁄ 16 – 15 ⁄ 32 in) long, and almost as wide as long, with a shallow cup; it is one of the most prolific producers of acorns. [2] The tree starts acorn production around 15 years of age, earlier than many oak species. [3] Autumn foliage

Good acorn crops are frequent, occurring at 1- or 2-year intervals, with light crops in intervening years.

Acorns deteriorate quickly after ripening, the germination rate being only 10% for six-month-old seeds. As the acorns are prime food for insects and other animals, all may be consumed in ...
