Re: oak tree - is it dying

It is possible that the thousands of acorns was just a "mast year" a year in which seeding is unusually prolific - but it is also possible that it was brought on by stress. Our ops manager suggest that this could be caused by a fungal attack, but it is difficult to say from a descrription. If you are near MK I would be happy to come have a look, otherwise if you could post up some pictures of it including at least one showing the whole tree then I will see if we can give you a diagnosis
