We lived here 49 years. My neighbor has an oak that has never had acorns. We are close to woods but I am not sure there are other a orn trees around, why does this tree not bear acords.

Hi Johanna:
Oddly enough, some oak trees (Quercus spp.) are just genetically predisposed to be poor producers or underperformers when it comes to producing acorns.
