I AM AN ARBORIST IN NORTH YORK (ONTARIO). RECENTLY I CONTACTED AN ARBORIST AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH REGARDING LEAF DROP IN RED OAKS. HE SUGGESTED TO ME THAT IT MAY BE ANTHRACNOSE. THE TREES SEEMED TO BE LOOSING THE CURRENT YEARS GROWTH IN CLUSTERS OF LEAVES. HE SUGGESTED THAT TRIMMING ALONG WITH FERTILIZING AND DORMANT OIL SPRAY IN THE EARLY SPRING WOULD IMPROVE THE TREE. ALSO SUGGESTED A THOROUGH RAKING TO REMOVE AS MUCH OF THE INOCCULANT AS POSSIBLE. I GUESS I MAY HAVE GIVEN YOU SOMETHING ELSE TO GO CRAZY OVER. GOOD LUCK. JB.
