Acorn maturing, Heeswijk-Dinther, Netherlands An acorn found on the forest floor in the process of germinating, which for oak species may take between 6 and 24 months. It&#039;s quite incredible how this little nut may grow into a tree up to a few dozens tons in weight. And not just that, also to be a pinnacle of life where it provides shelter and food for countless other life forms. Here&#039;s a cool timelapse of an acorn maturing:<br /> <section class="video"><iframe width="448" height="282" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ijmMA9hlo00?hd=1&autoplay=0&rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></section> Europe,Heeswijk-Dinther,Netherlands,World Click/tap to enlarge

    Oh, and I think you have some text above the video that you didn't intend to include?     Posted 6 years ago

      Yes, sorry, sometimes my clipboard is broken and takes previous values. I blame Windows. Posted 6 years ago

        My mouse gets a mind of its own when I'm trying to select text, so I can relate. Posted 6 years ago
