I hope you will be able to use it for heat, or give it away.
It's tragic what nice wood id dumped. The brilliant public servants who run
the Orange County Landfill won't let anyone take firewood either, so you
have to recycle it from your yard.

Yep, I agree with what's already been said about saving your large
trees.
In my experience, if half of the tree's branches remain then we can
count
on
it recovering, especially if most of the damage is in the interior of
the
top. To give it/them a better advantage, you may want to water it
during
the dry spells of summer.
Good luck,

My original post is a moot point now. By Sunday, my huge oak had lost
over
75% of its branches so we are taking it down. I can only guess that it
was
weakened by the drought since most oaks did not have such extensive
damage.

On a silver lining note...now that my yard will get some sun, maybe I will
be able to grow a decent tomato.
