With all of the rain around Houston this weekend, we had a huge limb tear off from an oak tree. This is an 80'+ oak tree and I would like to save the rest of the tree if possible, but I don't think I can. Anyone have any suggestions to give me hope?
This. Looks like if you cut it down, you could plant a new tree easily (plenty of room). Looks like it is not providing much shade before anyway.SockDePot said:
Hard to tell from pic, but is that a water oak?
If so, I'd just let it go / cut it down now.
I've had to cut 1 down every few years for the last 15 years around my house in memorial area of Houston. Maybe not a huge concern if it's not right up by structures, but over time all mine have started dropping huge limbs and finally always end up recommending to get cut down.
