Oaks are susceptible to oak wilt, which is a virus carried by a tiny beetle. Once the oak wilt gets into a tree, it can go from oak to oak through the roots. It will wipe the tree out.

Cover the wounds on an oak, with pruning spray, or latex asap. The only safe time to prune an oak is in winter after the first freeze.
