The stress from the freeze will send them into reproduction mode. It seemed the crop was light last year around my place. This ice storm and deep freeze might throw them into a boom and bust carbohydrate cycle for a couple years...at least the homegrown dry crop acorns.
Its funny to see people raking all the live oak leaves when:
1) the oaks need the nutrients for next year and mulching provided from their leaves especially in the coming summer months
2) there are still a crap ton of live oak leaves still on theirs and their neighbors trees...seems like an exercise in futility... for now.
