Ask The Gardener - " What can I do about damaged oak branches...?"

Q: Most of the outer branches on our 14-year-old laurel oak tree dried up and died after the February freeze. The only green leaf growth is along the main trunk. Should we cut off all the dead growth now or wait until fall?
A: Gardeners are still wondering about the slow recovery of many plants after the Houston area freeze in February. And as gardeners we all understand about patience as we wait for our plants to grow!
