Am I missing something?

There's 12 mature Oaks on our ground and not a thing, same for the four or five chestnuts at roadside. It's just something that's been fiddling in the back of my mind for a few weeks. If a chestnut for example did attempt to spend its low energy reserves on fruiting would that path lead to it rendering itself ill possibly or open to the possibility of being susceptible to illness?

Had a fair amount of acorns on some of the the oak trees I planted

Walnuts, both chestnuts, acorn trees, most stone fruits even sloes, all pathetic harvest if any at all. I think some have put on a lot of growth this year, combined with late frosts nipping the fruit buds and so on. Lots of mildews, fungal infections as well have really hit the trees in a combined assault.

All the trees are doomed! and we're all going to be washed into the sea!

Could also be due to lack of pollination by bees, as they've had a lousy year too
