How To Gather Acorns
Shake Trees & Pick Up Acorns That Fall Out

↑ Picking up an Acorn off the ground!!
Acorns will fall out of trees when you shake them! Note that this only occurs in Fall. In the Northern Hemisphere, this will be from September 1st to December 11th, and in the Southern Hemisphere this is from March 1st to June 11th. Their drop rate seems to be rather low, so have patience when going after them.
Acorns Only Drop From Deciduous Trees

Note that acorns will only drop from deciduous (broadleaf) trees! If you shake a coniferous (pine) tree, you'll get a Pinecone instead, so be careful!
