By eating only a small portion of the acorn (and sometimes none at all), these beetles help the seed germinate and become a seedling, which confers ecophysiological and reproductive advantages for the oak tree. [1] [7] Burying the acorns protects them from more efficient seed predators, leads to the developed seedlings having deeper roots, and ...
Many animals eat unripe acorns on the tree or ripe acorns from the ground, with no reproductive benefit to the oak, but some animals, such as squirrels and jays serve as seed dispersal agents. Jays and squirrels that scatter-hoard acorns in caches for future use effectively plant acorns in a variety of locations in which it is possible for them ...

Curculio glandium can pose a large risk to acorn-bearing tree populations. They are highly effective at infecting acorns which can cause a widespread number of seeds to be incapable of germination, with a potential of rendering 70–90% of seeds incapable of germination. [1] [5]
Use a hot-glue gun to cover a moss-covered wire or cardboard ring with found acorns. Tie ribbon around the miniature wreath so it can be hung in a window, from a doorknob, or on the back of a ...
The seed is an acorn2–3 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long and 2 cm in diameter, very similar to an oak acorn, but with a very hard, woody nut shell more like a hazel nut. The nut sits in a cup during its 18-month maturation; the outside surface of the cup is rough with short spines. [3]
