What Type of Tree Makes an Acorn? Only trees in the Quercus genus produce acorns. Watch a squirrel or chipmunk forage for food and no doubt a cache of acorns will appear.

In the West, the champions are both live oaks, the Coastal and the interior live oak, as well as the tanoak and black oak, which is Quercus kellogii.
