Red Oak Acorns

Red Oak Acorns are the most popular acorns to use for acorn crafts and acorn wedding favors/displays. Many people prefer the Red Oak over other Oaks because the Red Oak Acorn represents everybody's image of an acorn. The size of a Red Oak Acorn is a little bigger than a nickle. Red Oak Acorns make for fun craft projects and wedding displays and wedding favors. The Northern Red Oak Acorn is the most common acorn in the USA. Northern Red Oak Acorns mature on Oak trees in early August and fall off the trees in early September to October. Many crafts people and wedding organizers like to have the acorn with the cap still attached. The caps are on the acorns in the maturing stage of the acorns life cycle. The acorn is attached to the Oak tree by the acorn cap. When the acorns fall off the tree the cap usually seperates from the acorn.

At Acorno Acorns, we collect the acorns first off the tree and then off the ground and package them for resale to crafts people, wedding organizers, hunters, retail displays, and to people who use them for animal feed or for any acorn use. We try to collect caps as well. The caps can be glued to the acorn using a clear fast glue. It is impossible to find acorns with caps still on them after the harvest. The caps will come off the acorns after they fall to the ground. The acorn is a living organism. When the acorns fall from the tree - the acorn is living and the cap will come off due to wind, animals, and the fact that the acorn is a living and growing organism.
