what is the life cycle of an oak tree?

Answer 1

The acorn drops to the ground, the acorn cracks open, the shoot pushes out, the shoot pushes into the ground, the sprout unfolds its leaves, the tree grows, flowers grow on the tree.

The flowers are catkins, produced in spring. The fruit is a nut called an acorn, borne in a cup-like structure known as a cupule; each acorn contains one seed (rarely two or three) and takes 6-18 months to mature, depending on species.

The life span of oaks typically ranges from 200 to 600 years, with a few species reaching 1,000 years. Oaks grow slowly and usually do not bear acorns until they are about 20 years old.

Answer 2

The ripe acorn falls on the ground. If it hasn't been eaten before, it starts the following spring growing a new oak. It will grow very slowly, but can reach an age of over 500 years, even if it is hit by a flash.
Because oaks can become so old, farmers used to plant an oak to mark the boundary of their land.
When it's old enough, the oak starts producing acorns, such closing the cycle.
