AnswerThis depends on tree's specific condition, species, habitat, stress level ect, and I've heard anywhere from 10-30 years depending on the species.

The best acorns for human/ animal consumption are that of Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor). They have the lowest tannin levels (bitter taste) of all of the north-east hardy white oaks and are healthy, sustainable, and pretty good once leached. It can also be used to create flour for bread.

There was a study through University of Missouri called GRAFTING INFLUENCES ON EARLY ACORN PRODUCTION IN SWAMP WHITE OAK that showed you can achieve prolific and early bearing as early as 4 years by grafting a prolific nut producing Swamp White Oak scion onto a regular White Oak (Quercus Alba) rootstock.

How many nuts does an oak tree produce?

Oak Trees produce acorns not nuts. Infact, your wrong, the acorn produces acorns which are nuts. Acorns are often classified as oak nuts. But I'm afraid I don't have the equation, apparently there is one somewhere on the web. I suppose it also depends on how many oak tree flowers are pollinated.
