If you can find an oak tree with branches near the ground you may be able to spot the tiny nodules that will later become acorns.
They are a bit hard to see but look for the long, bare stalks. Those little lumps are embryonic acorns. (Actually the acorns are now fully formed as I took these photos in June)
Ash trees are more precocious and have already formed their ash keys, though they are not ripe yet.
