The oaks in my area look like that from gypsy moths and tent caterpillars one yearAppreciate the responses. Does anyone else agree that it could be an iron deficiency as @ATH stated? If so what measures could I take to improve the iron? Would love to try and save this beautiful tree. Leaves hav been historically yellower each year
It’s not something that stands out and I don’t see any in the leaves currentlyThe oaks in my area look like that from gypsy moths and tent caterpillars one year
Just to rule it out have you had any leaves this year or previous that were chewed or had holes?
Just to be clear...I am not convinced it is iron deficiency. Just another possibility.Appreciate the responses. Does anyone else agree that it could be an iron deficiency as @ATH stated?

A local arborist suggests it could be verticillium wilt.Damage patterns that are nonuniform indicate biotic factors (insects or pathogens)
Uniform patterns of damage are more likely to be abiotic (weather, nutrient deficiencies etc.)
The decline in your pin oak is nonuniform, thus the possibility of a bacterium.
