OT: Leaves on oak trees

On most of our oak trees, the leaves are "puckered". Have mostly red oak with some swamp white and saw tooth.

Newly emerging leaves look pretty normal. Anybody know why this condition exists? By the way, I use my 53 Super M for maintenance.

Thanks for any help!!
 
I"ve noticed that trees will show their stress through their leaves. If there is a drought, fire or any other disturbance, they shed leaves. Don"t cut the tree down yet, it just needs a year to get over the stress.
 
I had a Swamp White Oak that had the leaves eaten off by Gypsy Moths. The leaves came back and the next year it produced a lot of acorns.
I was told it was because of stress that it produced the extra acorns.
 
I'm not a tree expert but have already seen dead Evergreen trees. My guess the tree service people will be swamped with dead trees to remove next spring.
 
Been losing 4 to 5 big white oaks each year the last few years. Some kind of fungus in roots. Only leaves on main branches one year and dead the next. Have another 5 or 6 this year. No practical way to save. Something called Armor that is injected supposed to help but $600+ per tree.
 
Last year my one white oak had deformed leaves come out in the spring shortly afterward new leaves came out ok. Many trees around here in Highland, IL. (St. Louis Mo.) area are shedding their leaves or turning brown, I guess due to the dry season. My plum tree is turning already and will loose it's leaves soon. Our field corn here is already brown all the way up the stalk and the ears are haning down. that was the end of July already.
 
red oaks are especially affected by severe droughts which can cause a disease known as "scab". first thing affected are the leaves and then a deep gray color appearing the length of the trunk. no cure and the death of the three is soon. this is for nw alabama.
