Tree has less leaves #877797

Asked July 18, 2024, 2:15 PM EDT

I have a tree (possibly an oak?) that has noticeably less leaves than in past years. I would estimate about 40% of the tree has leaves. Are there steps I can take to prevent this from getting worse? I have attached a couple pictures.

You should have a certified arborist look at the tree to see if there is anything that can be done. Find one here https://www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist/findanarborist
