Damaged live oak poses threat to San Antonio house and family
Live oak trees are still good trees to plant in Central Texas, but if you suspect yours has been weakened, it's best to call in an arborist to look at the damage.Q: Our live oak was hurt badly by the extreme cold two years ago this month. Then it had ice on it recently, and now it looks like the trunk, which had lost chunks of bark already, has cracked. Are we going to lose it for good? It is about 20 years old.It sounds like your tree is a threat to the safety of your house and your family.
Many live oaks dropped major limbs or fell entirely in the ice and should have been removed earlier. It’s sad what the cold did to them two years ago. Their wood was weakened more than many people realized. They are still outstanding trees to plant. Only a small percentage of live oaks in general was hurt to this degree.Q: Would you recommend Nellie R.
Yes, you would have to propagate them if you want them. It would take several more years to get plants of any size. The hollies would make beautiful screening shrubs to 16 or 18 feet, and they are available in any size of nursery container almost immediately. They don’t require any more water than other shrubs, but if you forget for even a few days, you will lose them. The signs of drought with them are very subtle.
You might consider some of your native junipers if you have a really difficult time getting water to these plants. You could get them irrigation for the first two or three years to get them started and then hope for the best. I just don’t want you to expect miracles in dry Texas.Q: My dad lives on property west of Austin. He has lots of mountain laurels growing there and we’d like to transplant some to our landscape.
