Know its normal for trees to sprout leaves in the middle of major branch or
trunk during a drought. Thanks, Jang.

Another live oak question in the wild. Last fall, cut back and some down,
some "cedars" - juniper ashe- that were choking out the sunshine from some
live oaks. The majority of these live oaks are reacting the same way.
Sprouting leaves in the middle of major branches and trunk. Did similar 2
years ago around one live oak, first following year, same reaction. Now,
all seems normal. Question is, is this normal? If so, why, as additional
sunshine can hardly be considered a cause of stress?

Sorry, couldn't find answer under dingleberry's weblinks...

We have a right to choose.
Choices have consequences,
for both self, and others.
You probably considered yourself.

This may sound familiar. I hope is not your answer!

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.

While some growth may be normal, it is not normal if you also see any
other problems. When a tree is in decline it will live on its last
five years of stored energy, so it could take five years for death. If
there trees mean anything to the value of your property I suggest you
call an arborist to come look. Look up Don Gardener. If you can't
find him, call The Natural Gardener and ask them how to contact him.
John Dromgool should know as he has Don on the show frequently. It's
worth every dollar to save your trees from dying. You know around
here people buy the property based on the trees, the house is a free
throw in!

That's the question, is it normal given the circumstances that I provided?
Sorry if a tough question. That's me though.

New drilling sites for oil offshore and other
sensitive places. Question is, will that oil
go here in the U.S for our own use., or someplace else for sale?
