This July and August, the WDBJ7 Weather Center has received numerous photos of green acorns covering the ground across the region. The acorns are green, which indicate the trees are dropping them prematurely. Mature acorns are typically tan and often fall during the months of September and October. While an early acorn drop doesn't always indicate a serious problem with the trees, it can mean they are struggling.
The acorns are absolutely falling at least a month ahead of what's typical for them. Also, the red maple is starting to turn color, which is extremely odd for it to do so just yet. Another little tidbit, I have a resident squirrel in my oak tree, that I also feed peanuts to every morning and afternoon.
