We have a swamp white oak that's hanging on for dear life this summer too. Planted it 12 years ago and it's been doing great till this year. The leaves came half out and then it stalled. Marilyn found bugs crawling on it so she took some of the bugs to a nursery man to be evaluated. He told her the tree needs to be watered, that we've been dry for too long. He also gave her a systemic insecticide to mix with water and pour on the ground under the tree. The tree will take up the insecticide and hopefully the bugs will die. I did the insecticide and then watered it well a couple of times. That was last June and the tree has been hanging in there with half sized leaves, but no leaves have died. I watered it a couple of times since then but it's been raining enough so I haven't had to water again. It's a 20' tree so we hate to lose it. Jim
