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.
Only one type of tree produces an acorn, but this includes more than 500 individual species. An acorn is technically a fruit because it houses a seed, but due to its hard outer shell itâs classified as a nut. This nut is specific to trees in the Quercus genus, collectively referred to as oaks.
