More to Think About!
1. Most deciduous trees can tolerate an annual loss of 40% of their leaves at any time during the growing season with little or no ill effects.
2. If deciduous trees lose more than 50% of their leaves in one event between April and July, they will likely produce a second set of leaves which, although drawing on food reserves, results in a net benefit to tree growth.
3. Even though the crown of a defoliated/refoliated tree may look good, growth and wound repair processes are slowed and the tree may be predisposed to attack by secondary invaders.
