Living in the south east of the USA, There are so many different kinds of oaks it makes my head spin. They each have their own traits, but all are slow to mature as far as plants go. 20 years isn't unreasonable to become productive when you have a 2 - 5 hundred year life span or more, if something doesn't get in the way of nature.
Do you know how to make a whistle out of an acorn cap? That was a favorite childhood past time,and an art I love to share with children when I can. The local game warden gave a lecture on being lost in the woods, all high tech, and I taught him about ready to use noise makers. I swear, if I have an acorn top, I can make a whistle that can be heard for more than a mile.

Oak trees can start producing acorns when they are 20 years old, but sometimes can go all the way to 50 years for the first production. I'm including a page with all sorts of info on this.

Our red oak had its first acorns after 4 years and was just about 10 feet tall...many varieties of oak so you will get a lot of different answers.our Burr oak and swamp oak have NEVER had acorns

Around 15-20 years to produce viable acorns. If it is fertilized, then it will mature faster.
