Oak tree has a leaf problem

Red oak leaves.

Q: First of all our 35ft oak tree came out with reddish leaves, they have now turned green but every day there are small brown dead leaves on the ground. They are not the old leaves but some of the new leaves seem to be dying. Ideas please? Sent in from Mrs King.

A: I believe that these leaves formed early when we had a spurt of hot weather, since then cold weather affected that small growth and now the full flush is sending that damaged growth to the ground. Keep an eye on it, if the new growth is affected let us have a leaf to look at.
