Dear Neil: This oak was planted a few years ago. Initially it was diagnosed with sun scald. Despite measures to try to help it, it just seems to be going downhill. When it budded out this spring there was new growth, but now much of that has died back. At this point I think the best thing I can do is to put it out of its misery and replace it, but if there is anything you think might revitalize it, please do tell.

Moving to the Metroplex in September 1970, I've been around this block 54 times, so I can predict what's in our stack of inquiries. I'm familiar with what crosses gardeners' minds this time of the year. Here are the most common questions. Why are my trees' leaves yellowing and starting to drop? This hasn't come up just yet, but it's only a matter of days.
