Why do the green leaves fall off of your oak trees in the summer?
Maryalynch50
Leaves of an oak tree fall off during summer because the oak tree is trying to save the water and minerals of the tree. i.e. the tree is trying to reduce the amount of transpiration which takes place through heavy sunlight. So by getting rid of leaves the amount of transpiration reduces and the oak tree won't die.
