This is the Swedish description in the Heraldica record. How it was composed and whether it is an official blazon have not been independently verified here. The editorial text distinguishes registry information from municipal or local interpretations.

The arms and their description
The Heraldica record describes a diagonally placed, partly green oak leaf with a gold acorn growing from it and green cup scales.
Source: Heraldica record 2839
Background in local sources
Ekerö Municipality’s art programme describes the oak as a symbol of the municipality. It cautiously says the name Ekerö is probably connected with the oak and notes that an oak leaf and acorn appear in the arms. The source does not specify their heraldic colours; those details are taken separately from the registry description.
Heraldic elements
The heraldic elements are identified using HERO, a heraldry ontology published through Finland's Finto service. It provides structured terminology for describing coats of arms and their components. The list describes the structure of the arms, not the symbolic meaning of its elements.
