Image of Bavarian Wardenburg coat of arms (wappen)

This picture is taken from the book of Wardenburg family history written by J. G. Wardenburg of The Netherlands. The small picture of this coat of arms (minus the mantle, helmets, etc.) on Bernard Diederick Gijsbert's page is taken from V. & H. V. Rolland's Illustrations to the Armorial Général by J.-B. Rietstap; Heraldry Today, London, 1967. The book is available at the Family History Library (Mormon), Salt Lake City, Utah (USA).

All of the Wardenburg coats of arms have in common three acorns and two oak leaves. I don't know the significance of these symbols.
The Bavarian coat of arms is described as:

Ec.: aux 1 et 4 d'arg, à une branche de chene de sin. en forme de redorte, fruitée de trois glands d'or et feuillée de deux pièces de sin.; aux 2 et 3 de gu. àla fasce d'arg. Deux cq. cour. C.: 1º le meuble de 1, entre deux prob. coupées alt. d'arg. et de gu.; 2º un vol à l'antique aux armes du 2. L. d'arg. et de gu.
