I’ve always wondered why some trees hold on to their leaves. Thanks for sharing! Sorry to hear about Angel. I’m glad she’s getting the treatment she needs
Glad to hear Angel is on the mend. Yep, ticks are bad down that way. Pulled many off our dog when I lived in Trenton. Another great educational video Kevin. Keep them coming.
Another thought is how trees manage the compound suberin (which is responsible for clogging the abscission zone). From my observation it is mostly younger oaks, etc. that retain their leaves and maybe have less of the compound production. Good topic though!
As your walking around Kevin have you noticed that there was absolutely no mast this year, no beech nuts and absolutely no acorns off of the oaks. This is the first in 40 years I've seen this, I know what you are saying for lve been in the bush here in Ontario all my life and I spent 37 years as a certified utility arborist. Just wondering if you had noticed that. Happy a HC ,Happy Christmas 🍷
My area - Frontenac, west of Ottawa - had a bumper crop of acorns this fall but the beech aren't doing well at all. Probably due to that Beech blight that is spreading across central Ontario. Are the oak in your area over mature at this point? That might be why.
@TheHappyCamper Our beeches and pretty much history, as well as our elms here in the Bancroft area,lm 60 miles to the landing on choppy opeongo, hope angel is on the mend, she's a beautiful ol pup 🐶
@@perrywannamaker1969 I noticed that as well for those species. A colleague suggested it might be due to limited snow load through the winter now - but of course that's not the case near Gravenhurst.

I always thought they froze on before they had time to fall, interesting 👍
I am soooo loving you teaching videos! Keep going!
Thanks.

That's a good and reasonable reason - very interesting. Thanks for that.
Hope she's good now ..lot a life in that breed....

Our, oaks are fine, just absolutely no acorns for the deer
And there wasn't hardly any white pine cones around this year or spruce cones

Got to mortgage the house to pay these vets. Dogs are a luxury
