Acorns take between six and 24 months to mature. They appear only on adult trees. For information on acorn legends and symbolism, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn.

When a tree produces a ridiculously abundant crop of nuts, it is called a "mast" year. http://www.hastingsreserve.org/OakStory/Acorns2.html.
