Acorn - Stephen Stefko

Acorn Tree //Quercus// or //Lithocarpus// Beech //family//

The humble acorn comes from an acorn tree and the tree can produce a lot of acorns. The acorn has only one seed in the acorn and rarely two. The Red Panda can eat a large amount of acorns so the acorn is very important to the Red Panda.Acorns, being too heavy for wind dispersal, require other elements to spread. Oaks therefore depend on seed dispersal agents to move the acorns beyond the mother tree and into a suitable area for germination (including passage to some amounts of water, sunlight and soil nutrients.) The humble acorn is found world wide and is important to many animals and they produce fast. There are two types of acorn trees the white oak and the red oak. They can live for at least 200 years or more. They are all deciduous trees and lose all there leaves in the fall. They can grow to enormous sizes.
