“…In Europe, Q. rubra flowers in May (Klotz, Kühn, & Durka, 2002) and acorns are shed from September through October. More detailed observations from Lithuania revealed that leaves of Q. rubra were unfolding in the middle of May (Julian dates 124–134), with leaf fall near the end of October (Julian date 303), according to observations from the years 1980–2013 (Sujetovienė & Šveikauskaitė, 2014).
