Perennials
are plants, like this sycamore tree, with an indefinite life span. which live for more than two years and may or may not complete a reproductive cycle each year.

 



Pollen is the male contribution to life for an oak tree.  A hard rain or hail storm can knock all of the pollen to the ground or can cause it to mold which means mean no acorns in any given year.
