So I found this Acorn in my school grounds when I was at primary school.

I remember thinking you don’t see these all the time and I brought it home.

I’ve had it ever since (I'm now 40) but it still appears to be alive :D

During winter it will close up and then come this time of year, it does this.

I lifted it just now to sprinkle some water on it and a seed fell out! Surely it cannot be still alive?

Quite pleased I have kept it all these years being honest.

Edit to include coin for scale :)

Christ lol I thought it was an Acorn so whoops.

Didn’t take me long to find that out sure :D from primary school I had myself convinced this was an Acorn. Stick to computers Phil :D
 
LOL That was a thing I had kept from my childhood thinking it was an Acorn. It’s clearly not but I have it all these years only to find it’s not a bloody Acorn :D I would never make it at the gardening game etc it would seem lol
 
I didn’t have much interest in stuff like this being honest.

I was more interested in computing and science but found that big ‘pine cone’ one day at primary school.

I have been well enough educated in computers and finance, but not Acorns and Pine cones it would seem :D

But now I know sure. Everyday is a schoolday as they say :)
 
The Pine cone never leaves me it seems. It just sticks about and reminds me of my youth and inability to identify things that fall from trees :D that’s a lot of years thinking this was a Acorn lads. I am distraught!

You need to keep calling it an acorn, it's been too late to rename it now.

Do plant the seed and post updates!

I think you are right! I will do just that.

I suspect the seeds are dead but so will get new ones. Acorn trees and Pine trees in the mix.

Trees in general… I do like them but just can’t identify them it would seem lol
