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. Acorns provide food for various wildlife, or they would otherwise litter the forest floor and rot since they are too heavy to disperse via wind.
Huge oaks can live to be 200 years old. Acorns are the fruit of oak trees. Every fall these often massive, stately trees produce a rain of acorns that are quickly eaten, buried, or stored by a wide variety of animals. Acorn size varies from one-fourth inch to over 2 or 3 inches, depending on the species.
