Generally these spaces serve as sacred havens of a sort. One of the most interesting things to us is seeing where people choose to plant their Bios Urn,® and how the land in which they place it in holds a special connection or meaning to them. He concluded his message to us with some beautiful photos, and by saying this ¨I’ll only send you pictures of my grandpas tree for now and later on I’ll send you hers too. When we spoke with Tomáš he told us his grandmother just recently passed away as well, and that he has plans of planting her into an Oak tree as well. Tomáš chose a Bios Urn® with an Oak tree seedling for his grandfather, as he found it to be the most fitting choice and is also environmentally compatible with the location. It is very difficult to describe the feeling.¨ Sometimes a tear drops, but I wouldn’t call it a tear of sadness. It makes me feel happy in a really special way. I found passion in fishing, so I just take my fishing rod and sit next to my grandpa the whole afternoon. ¨We all hate graveyards and we go there once a year to light up the candles. He now takes a yearly sojourn to this special location to light candles, and sometimes even to go fishing. Tomáš described the pond as a very calm and beautiful place which harbors the spirit of his grandfather. Tomáš knew this was the perfect place for his Bios Urn® to be planted. He and his family chose to plant his grandfather´s Bios Urn® in a pond that his grandfather had excavated and created entirely by himself years before in the Czech Republic. Tomáš described his grandfather as a spontaneous and impulsive man, who often did things just for fun, even in his old age. His family had no idea what to do after his grandfather passed, until he discovered the Bios Urn® and knew it was a perfect fit for him. Long term, the average white oak acorn production is 37%, and red oak acorn production is 55%.Tomáš Ševčík chose to use a Bios Urn® for his grandfather, who passed away nearly 14 months ago. This is the 17th year for the survey, where Division of Wildlife employees scan canopies of selected oak tree wildlife areas and determine the relative size of the acorn crop as well as the percentage that produces acorns.įrom 2020 to 2021, the proportion of white oaks bearing acorns increased by 13%, while red oak proportions decreased by 20%.

This year, the survey results found that an average of 40% of white oaks and 49% of red oaks bore fruit. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife annually surveys oak trees in 38 wildlife areas around the state for acorn abundance. Why does this happen? Mild winters can mean more acorns, as white and red oak trees are able to produce more in the spring, while harsh winters or a springtime freeze can lead to little-to-no acorn production. Related: Are you seeing more acorns falling? You could be in the middle of a 'mast year' In Connecticut, parts of the state are seeing a sparse output while others see a lot. In Michigan, one resident said two "epic oaks" outside her house started dropping acorns in bunches this year after not producing any for years. These mast years can be random, happening as often as once every year or two, and depends on the severity of the previous winter. In some places, it's a mast year for acorns, meaning oak trees are overproducing nuts. That's thanks to a slightly above average production of acorns from white oaks. Do you feel like you're crunching on acorns every time you step outside? In Ohio, that could be true.
