Sudden Oak Life by Lee Klinger

Seven years ago I began fire mimicry treatments on four coast live oaks, as well as two redwood trees in Los Altos, CA. I reported on the progress of these trees back in 2020.and in 2018. For obvious reasons, the property owner has asked me to continue treating these trees, so they have received five treatments over the past seven years. These results tend to support my intuition that when trees have not responded to my treatments, it is likely because I did not do enough care, rather than having done too much.

And don’t miss the final photo set of this series showing the results with redwoods.

I look forward to seeing these trees outgrow the frames of my original photos (as is already starting to happen) in years to come!
