The oak forest of Moore Park is seeing a bumper crop of acorns. As the Massachusetts website Mass Audubon says: “Fall is the time for nuts and no nut is more noticeable than the acorn.” How true, say Moore Park residents who while cherishing their trees have been subjected to a three-week hail of the tough little nuts. Oaks produce their acorns in a boom or bust cycle. The cycle is normally 2 to 5 years. This is a boom-boom year in the South Bayview enclave below Moore Ave. All of which may be for many people about as much information on oak trees as they wish to know. Except that the boom years are known as mast years. Mass Audubon
