Tree assessment/forest pathology

[David Humphries]

Guess, which tree the little acorns came from, and which came from a healthy tree behind it: panic fruiting? :

 

Sloth, you're target tree appears to be Q. robur.

The large acorns are from that tree, right ?

 

Are you sure the smaller acorns aren't from an adjacent petraea ?

 

 

Most roburs where I am, appear to have very large acorns particularly this (mast) year.

 

Q. petraea on the other hand are somewhat smaller and no stalk on their acorn.

 

 

 

Be interested to hear your thoughts?

David, as part of my leaf collection I have been noticing acorn fruit on a variety of oaks 'oop ere' and have noticed quite a few Q. patreae's with large stalks and healthy larger looking acorns, whereas we're having woodsy I would say is a normal year for the Q. roburs

Differing climatic & growing conditions one would assume.

Probably. After aprils heat and then the wet summer we've had here, then it's more than likely

 

And its only 200 ish miles away:001_rolleyes:

10 miles can be enough for a complete altering of growth conditions, even from weather

Now you've questioned it I'm not sure to be honest! In my haste I thought the smaller acorns where definitely directly under the tree in question, I (wrongly?) assumed they were from it. I thought they looked small and hollow so wander over and looked at the acorns under the neighbouring tree (to the left in the photo) and they were all large and beefy. Didn't stop to consider robur/petrea will check next time I drive by

Cool, would be intesting to know if they are from same species or not

i think this is worth a lot of consideration, I will be having a good look at it over the next hours.
