Acorn harvesting for the season

Acorn harvesting for the season

We have started harvesting acorns in the Pitres area at the beginning of November, and we will go out for several days until the beginning of December. In this way we will have genetic diversity in terms of the time of harvest, which is the same as different oaks with different flowering times. You can see the moment of cleaning the acorns, disinfection with bleach, drying and refrigeration.
