First, it is important to prune your oak trees regularly.<\/p>\n
Pruning helps to keep the trees healthy by removing dead or diseased branches, as well as preventing overcrowding.<\/p>\n

If you notice any signs of disease, make sure to take action as soon as possible to prevent the spread of the disease.<\/p>\n
