Has anyone else noticed zero beech mast (nuts) this year?

PS No hazelnuts I can see on our trees this year and a friend says their garden produce has been poor this year, especially fruit.

It must fill a good deal of your small garden, witz! The mature beech trees near us are absolutely gigantic!

I'll go and check them out sometime. What I have noticed this years is tonnages of sycamore mast. Even in an ordinary year there's a lot but this year is extraordinary.

I suppose trees do have mast producing cycles. I wonder if their production follows a Normal Distribution" curve over a number of years?

No I do see them around where I live and Rosie has more than once limped home with a shell caught in her pads.

I looked for acorns in my local park the other day there were none on the trees or on the floor I was a bit puzzled.

It is a strange year isn't it, growth wise? the squirrels have myxomatosis too

Not beech nuts, but no conkers😖
