Again, in these forests, the phenology of most oak species is suggestive of the phenology of their northern counterparts, with flowering generally occurring in the ‘spring’ (January–April), and mature fruits falling in the ‘fall’ (September–November, with a peak in October). Thus, if we wish to contrast the oaks of Central America south of Mexico with those of Mexico, we can generally say that phenologically/ecologically, we have two groups – the montane Mexican group (generally above 1,500 m), and the tropical group (generally below 1,500 m).
