In October of 2020 I began fire mimicry treatments on 4 coast live oaks and one black oak here in Big Sur. The above oak also received a major stem canker surgery. Yesterday I checked on the progress of the oaks at the two year mark, nearly to the minute. I’ll never tire of seeing trees get healthier!

Thanks Lee, uplifting to understand that fire damaged trees can be healed!
I guess you are what might be called a tree whisper. Neil
