Oak trees produce 2,200 acorns in a season, but each acorn only has a 1 in 10,000 chance of becoming an oak tree.

Oak trees develop slowly and can reach heights of over 30 feet. Acorn production begins when the tree hits the 20-year-mark or so, making reproduction a very slow process. Statistics have shown that although an oak tree can produce upwards of 2,200 acorns in a single season, each acorn has only a one in 10,000 chance of actually becoming an oak tree.
