Many crepe myrtle still have no sign of life. Some leaf out much later than others. Mine are usual dormant until late May.

Nope. Not a single new leaf. I think the tree is history. It is a shame.

They're just now showing a fuzz of green here in the city. So, I can believe that out in the suburbs they're a bit behind that.

Just don’t think about it until August. See what it looks like then.

Pin oaks can be as late as mid-may to bud.

I want to be optimistic, but there are absolutely no signs of life, and there seem to be quite a few dead branches. Spring has sprung, but the tree looks the same as it looked in the dead of winter.
You can always call and arborist.
Bartholomew tree service in Kensington for example.

There is a large, mature "pin" oak tree in my front yard. My guess is that it is well over 100 years old.
We moved into the house last fall, at which time the tree had plenty of healthy-looking leaves. In addition, the tree produced a huge number of acorns last fall.
A pin oak doesn't shed its leaves during winter. The leaves shrivel up, but the tree hangs onto them until spring, at which time the old leaves fall and new leaves grow.
As of mid-April, the tree is still holding onto its old leaves, and there is no sign of new leaves emerging. Having just moved into the house last fall, I'm not sure if this is normal or if I should be concerned.
Should I be worried? Is the lack of new leaves a sign that the tree might be dead or sick?
