[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, pin oak does tend to hold it leaves and the new buds push them out. It is called marcescence. If a tree loses its leaves too early, it is a bad sign. We had a maple that turned fall colors in August and dropped all leaves by September. That tree died.[/quote] Yes, but this situation is the polar opposite -- the tree still has it dead leaves from last year. My understanding is that a pin oak retains its leaves through the winter months, and then drops them when spring arrives. At this point, spring is well underway, but the tree is still clinging to its old, dried-up leaves, and not a single new leaf has emerged. [/quote]
