- There is a short article in Discover (October, I think) magazine, that discusses
- cycles in acorn production. It talks about acorn production and how the rodent
- population follows acorn "output". It also mentions that individual trees seem
- to be on the same production "schedule". This may be because the trees are
- all "related" (sprouted from the same parent).
-
- If there is interest, I could summarize the article in more detail.
