re: Another sickly water oak

Absolutely. She’s also having the same issues with leaves in her pool. But I’m also trying to minimize our future headaches when it falls. Also she’s having some huge erosion problems with her pools decking since no grass is growing on the slope between the tree and her pool. I understand her desire for the afternoon shade. I offered to install some of those Coolaroo shades for her on her porch. Like somebody said earlier,,,it’s a water oak so we know it’s rotting on the inside. Just a matter of time before it splits in that crotch.
