    What is up with these saw toof oaks? Planted about 250, and most are doing great...but it's like some will lose all there leaves and have new shoots come out from the base?

    Planted roughly 500 12 years ago and they produce some serious food

    What would you say is the cause....not like they don't have enough water? Surely that grass isn't too much competition?

    Transplant shock , mebbe so. Not enough root to balance amount of leaves perhaps. Were they bare root whips or leafed out container plants? at plantin time.Don't really matter , pick one sucker and let it be a tree.Cut the rest. I had a few pecans do that maybe 10 out of a couple hunnert.

    Here is a shot from today.
    These always do well if there is not a late frost. I have a set of three in the same soil. They are 9 years old and one always drops leaves early. They don't produce yet either. I have about 75 on a northern facing slope that don't do well most years.
    This group of about 75 does great.
