Always a waiting game with some oaks. I’ve got some live oaks that are already pushing and others that are still sitting.

Well...at least your tree is thinking about popping. My climate is different. But in some bud-ways it may be similar. Oak buds for around me swell...then pause....and pause....like the tree is out of shape and out of breath to do all that bud and leaf development work. Then days later there is more progress. Slow to start...and once started the leaf development is quite fast.

I remind it from time to time what cords of oakwood are selling for.

Weren’t you getting angry at your oaks last year too?
Oaks are like Ents. You’ve just got to have patience, “You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.”

Free material!
I think we have a total of one squirrel on our whole block, and I haven't seen him in a while. The previous owner of our house used so much rat poison that I think it got all the other animals too. That's why we do cats.
Waiting for the weather to warm up so I can dig some of the oak saplings in the yard, but that could be a while still.
Come on down and collect up all the squirrels, oak and maple seedlings you want.

I know where to keep the trees, but the squirrels are a different matter.
Maybe in the chicken coop?

I've been having an itch to air layer a branch out of my red oak that is growing right on my path when I check the trees I have in a grow bed under it's shade... but after reading all this things about them I think I am just going to prune it and save me some headaches.

Is that the only one of your oaks that buds out late?

Mine haven’t even begun to stir. I checked to make sure the twigs are still flexible. They are. I just tend to forget that oaks are late bloomers.
