It's late summer and the bur oak and the squirrels are making a mess. For the past couple weeks, cleaning up limb, leaf, and acorn debris has been a daily occurrence. This is extra messy because we were gone over the weekend.
Once you start getting into the end of summer, you'll see the bad acorns being ejected from the tree. These acorns are larger and usually have leaves attached. If you keep up with it, the mess isn't that bad. I filled a trashcan with today's cleaning.
Here’s where we get to the real culprit in all this: the squirrels are really to blame for the messy results from the acorns of a bur oak tree. Acorns themselves are simple enough to clean up, but the reality is that the squirrels chew up the shells and the cups, and they are all over the place for weeks.
There’s just no way around it; these guys are some sloppy eaters!
