Both on the plateau and on the hillside it leafs out erratically, and sometimes the first flush of growth dies back completely (and this not due to frost). They usually manage to pull themselves together by the end of the season.

The largest Q. laceyi here shows the effect of Anthracnose – in mid-May it has only two or three buds of foliage, but as the weather gets hotter and dryer the fungus is less effective and the plant will leaf out normally.
