Leaf drop
Howdy,
It seems that there is a relatively high rate of leaf drop from assorted live oaks on my property. A slow but steady trickle that accumulates of the driveway, patio, and hot tub cover. None of them show the specific signs of oak wilt as depicted on this link. http://www.forestryimages.org/images...12/0758075.jpg The leaves that drop can be all brown, all green, brown or green with assorted discolorations or deformations. A couple of dozen variants from each tree. The trees don't really look bare regarding leaf coverage. Could this be due to our weirdo summer weather this year? john |

I believe it is just that time of year. I used to worry about my
Red/Spanish Oaks dropping leaves in late summer/early fall when before most of my neighbors, but then as I looked about town I noticed that some were just starting to lose their leaves. Yes, it seems to be a slow trickle, especially noticable if you have a pool that they hang over like I do. andyd at, 18 Sep 2004 18:09:09 GMT, jOhN wrote: Howdy, It seems that there is a relatively high rate of leaf drop from assorted live oaks on my property.

Did you look at the photo he provided? That is not normal.

The picture link I included was an example of oak wilt and, as noted, is
NOT what any of my dropped leaves look like. I have since cruised my neighborhood and saw that many of the live oaks were shedding leaves in a fashion similar to those in my yard. I think Andyd is right in that it is a normal tree function. escapee wrote: Did you look at the photo he provided? That is not normal.
