OMG! My nuts are huge!! lol I actually have to use protection on my car to stop them from denting it.... lol Acorn wars were fun weren't they, now when I try to start a war everyone just looks at me weird followed by a remark of either "grow-up" or "ouch". lol No fun! Basically, I think that the mighty oak trees go through different cycles throughout the course of their life and knowing from personal experience I'm quite sure that the weather has a leading role in whether or not your nuts will be big or small. : )

Well, it has to do with the year your trees had. If it was a dry year, they might be small. If it was a wet year, they might be larger. Basically, they will put what they can into the acorns, so if the acorns are small, the tree had a bad year and if they are huge, the tree had a great year - it depends on the weather and competition and diseases and insects and rainfall and fertility of surrounding soil.

you have grown up so now they just seem smaller!
actually size is related to the growing season, amount of heat, sunlight and moisture as well as nutrients just like any other plant. your acorns are small this year but next year your acorns should be larger.
