? I planted an oak tree when I was 6, it's now over 40ft tall, and is currently dropping more acorns than the squirrels can handle. I'm 37 now for reference.

Ever met a 30 year old squirrel? Idk to be honest I have no idea how long they live

5-10 years, I just looked it up. So 1st set of grandkids should be able to benefit, as it's dropping acorns by year 10 or so

But they mature within a year. So a generation would be every year for squirrels.
