An extensive page is available with the documentation from the charrette that was held in January 2016 for Austin Oaks. The page also includes material from the work done after the charrette during 2016 and 2017, culminating in the final PUD ordinance with the City of Austin, which was made effective April 24, 2017.

Until July, sap beetles are attracted to fresh tree wounds and can transmit the oak wilt fungus to a healthy oak tree during pruning. The heat of July-August is believed to suppress the beetles and reduce the risk of infection. Note that all trees are under the normal stress of summer, depending on soil moisture, and some are still in their growing season then. So if you haven’t completed pruning of oaks by now, it’s best to wait until fall.
