This winter, it's been remarkable to watch the leaves fall from our oaks. I have a Chinquapin Oak for which, when the leaves turn brown, boom, they're down. But a nearby Red Oak holds onto it's brown leaves for a month or more. Is this a species-specific behavior, or do oak trees behave differently in this regard in different years.?
Younger wood on oaks and beeches retains brown leaves longer. That's what makes beech such a good hedging tree. It's still dense in winter. Through regular clipping the wood is constantly renewed and is hence always young. Are your oaks different ages as well as different species?
