Ours is every bit as big as the one in Bob Davis' picture... It has bumper crops every other year... This is an off year... Next year... Dan

Kinda felt bad doing it, but that was my remedy as well. How could you chop down a tree like that? I thought we liked nature With a chainsaw.

Hope you hugged it before you cut it.
Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

My wife wants the tree gone but I canโt bring my self to do it. Itโs the only tree in the back yard and keeps our pool cooler in the summer months. I had it trimmed back from over the pool so at least I am not scooping them every day. good for you those trees are irreplaceable if they didn't clear cut every development in town it could be different

I literally spent 3 months picking up acorns every year. A giant oak tree in front yard of Flower Mound home made me wanna move out so I did. I've never been so relieved in all of my life. I bet I averaged 5 full trash cans, the big ones, full to the brim every year. I was anal about my acorns. I owned them by February, but they whooped my azz from Oct-Jan. Bob, you did exactly the right thing. RIP, Red Oak!

I have a giant burr oak in the back yard. In the 30 years I've lived here I've never had a more than a couple of acorns a year.

My wife sweeps acorn off the driveway every day, I donโt see the point. She will be sweeping and one will pop her in the head. I say see, the tree is trying to tell you something.
