Some folks are working on a remedy, but who knows…

Some nice White Oaks as well.

I think we’ll be in better shape 100 years from now. As the Water Oaks are slowly replaced by longer lived trees!

I know you can’t tell by looking at it but it sure is leafed out except for one top branch. They can live to 225 years which makes this one late middle age.
