You can shake the same tree as many times as you want to get acorns to fall, you don’t need to move to another tree and worry about spawning wasps.
Similarly, you get Pine Cones in Animal Crossing: New Horizons by shaking cedar trees. These are the darker, pointier trees that are usually found on the upper elevations of the island. Again, you can shake the same tree over and over until a pine cone falls.
