I have three large Water Oaks in my backyard that I had crowned and pruned about three years ago. Since having this done, the trees are covered in new growth of little branches (suckers?) and the canopy is fuller by multiples before having the work done.
Is this cause for concern? Was the work done correctly for this to be the result so soon after when the goal was to thin the canopy?
The trees are quite a nuisance and worried they are coming to end of life. They frequently drop large branches and the leaves and acorns are never ending! Worried the new growth could make them more prone to fall.
I live in zone 7b/8a (Atl area)
