Those stubborn oaks

[Terrierman]

The stubborn oak trees - pin oaks, shingle oak, crimson oak and their relatives who don't care to give up on a leaf until the last minute gave up a lot of their leaves today.  It is howling out there.😵

Mine spit all of theirs out last fall for some reason.  Maple limbs popping and breaking off here.  Silver maples are the worst.  Don't know why the MDC sells them.

I got most mine cleaned up last Fall.

Neighbor hired a guy to clean their leaves up. He blowed them all in a ditch and lit them. Next thing I know my wife is getting a call to come help.

She goes over was laughing with the hired guy. Yea they were burning good but not going anywhere.

Shingle Oak is basically bare now.  Pin Oak still has maybe 40%.  Planted a crimson oak (not a red oak) last fall and I can't tell that it's lost anything yet.  Talk about stubborn, they could give lessons.
