Today on my lunchtime hike through the coast live oak scrub in the hills behind my home I brilliantly developed a 100% accurate test to determine the moment coast live oak acorns are ripe.
Here's how you know they are ripe: They are gone.
I have been watching green acorns for weeks, watching for the precise moment when they get ripe enough to pick to eat and/or plant. I have discovered that there are precisely three types of coast live oak acorns: Green ones, bug eaten ones, and empty acorn caps.
I might have to just stand next to a tree for a few days and fight off the jays and squirrels. I don't mind; the view of Morro Bay from there is awesome.
