Anyone have a report on how the mast crop is going this year in western MA?

just curious if there is food in the woods for yogi

In central Massachusetts they’ve already started eating all the hazel nuts.
Butternut & hickories are putting out but most of our oaks produced last year

Dunno about W Ma, but in SW NH there are very small acorns starting to fall, seems a little early? I just read on Scott Farm's website (Brattleboro VT) that their apple crop is estimated to be down by 90% due to the May 18th hard frost. I have exactly one apple out of 10 trees, and one tree was killed by that frost.

Just noticed the acorns start to drop here in the way north.

Acorns have been dropping for weeks near me. Southern NH/north central MA border.
