My oak tree
I had people carefully take off the ivy off my oak tree. It was wrapped around. The color of the trunk is alittle lighter. Is my oak tree okay?

Yes, the lighter color is just due to the lack of sun from where the ivy was shading the bark. It will change over time as it sees more sun. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
