| These acorns are littering a gravel path near one of our oldest white oaks (Quercus alba). You can read more about the tree here. Note: one of the acorns is split; it has started to germinate. |
 |
| These are long bullet-shaped acorns, measuring more than an inch. |
 |
| These white oak acorns have a different shape. They taper much less quickly. They were collected from another old, on-site native, growing in the arboretum drainage channel on the east side of the Student Union Building. Again, one acorn has started to sprout. |
 |
| We have two different white oaks, with two different acorn shapes. Both are big acorns, but one is longer and the other is fatter. Intraspecies variation on display! |
