All your acorns must be in Virginia because we had a bumper crop this year. I do remember the year Hurricane Isabel came roaring through we had no acorns at all. It was a very wet summer that year. Did you have a wet spring/summer up there this year? The heavy rains could have washed away the pollen preventing the trees from pollinating.

Did anyone else notice that all the ginkgo leaves were really small this year? I noticed it at First Friday, on November 7, walking around downtown Lancaster. But then I noticed the big ginkgo at my mom's house also had really small leaves this year. So when is the size of the leaves set? In the fall? The spring? What?

The hickory tree that hangs over my deck had a bumper crop this year. You couldn't sit out there without being pelted by falling nuts, and you couldn't walk out in bare feet because the squirrels were eating in the tree and dropping the shells on the deck

I'll never be able to read a post like this ever, ever again without snickering to myself. I think I've been corrupted.

Yeah, I did start that one, didn't I.
