A frost severe enough will remove leaves but without the frost the
normal cycle will run through. I saw some conker trees lose all their
leaves one spring but they regrew. They don't get that chance on
whatever deciduous trees still have them in December.

American oak is not deciduous -though these look more like sessiles.
Some deciduous oaks (if not all kinds?) have two leaf growths; sending
out a burst of new leaves in September, if I remember correctly.

Far be it from me to wonder off topic but:
Since most of these kinds of deciduous oaks cross breed, can they be
described as "species" would anyone know?

Few or no leaves left here in the Solent Riviera - all blown off by
the last lot of gales. I always thought the trees up North lost their
leaves first! Maybe it's a coastal thing.

Frost? What's that. Still only one so far this autumn/winter in S.Essex.
Still quite a few leaves to fall.
Dave, awaiting the cold ;-)
