Ever eat acorns?
I know that they have to be ground and soaked
to remove bitter tannic acid. I've also heard that they're not particularly good. I ask because my mom has a giant oak tree which is dropping some really big acorns. It's a California live oak, and I don't remember this tree producing acorns of significant size when I was a kid. The few acorns were really tiny. I suspect the tree is dying. There's something called Sudden Oak Death going around here, and this tree is the most prominent tree along a heavily travelled road. It has moss growing on it, which it didn't have during most of the time I've known it. I've never heard of oak trees producing a bumper crop of acorns when dying. The acorns look really good, but they're going out with the yard waste unless I save them. |
