Live Oak - OK or NOT???

[pearlandtrees]

I recently moved into house with mature live oak in front yard (S.E. TX). It looked fine up until now. It did seem to shed a lot of leaves over the winter and we have been in a slight drought over the last year. The upper portion of the crown has not filled in with the new growth like most of the other live oaks in the area, however some still look bare like mine. I'm hoping its still a little early to be worried! Can anyone tell me if there might be something possibly wrong, and if so what? Thanks.

The canopy leafing seems being abnormally sparse for me too which points to some stressing factor. What it is, needs a closer investigation (fungus, wreckers, soil conditions change (chemicals), or something else

you have problems, get an arborist on site.
