Half the lower leaves on your ancient oak look burned, while nearby oaks are fine. This isn't a DIY diagnosis situation.
Uneven leaf-out and scorched foliage on a mature oak can signal several serious issues: root damage, vascular disease, lightning strike, or yes, late frost hitting a low-lying canopy. Only an on-site evaluation by a consulting arborist can distinguish among them.
Consulting arborists are paid for unbiased assessments — they don't sell tree removal or treatment services. Their incentive is accurate diagnosis, not upselling.
Visit the Georgia Arborist Association website (georgiaarborist.org) and search their member directory for a consulting arborist near you.
An ancient oak is an irreplaceable asset. Invest in a professional evaluation before taking any action.
