You know, I don't recall any acorns for a long time, but I wasn't necessarily looking for them. The tree had in recent years had a "trencher" go by approx. 25 feet from it, but appeared healthy until the drought we had this summer. It appeared to be approx. 60% dead (up in it) and I kept trying to convince my dad to give it a chance (knowing I was probably wrong), but indeed, it couldn't be saved (obvious after it was felled). The tree was approx. 25 feet from the corner of my parents' house, and I could see where the growth was stunted for a decade or so back when the house was built. I'm still kind of sad about it...
