Went on Thursday to cut up 2 limbs which had fallen off Oak tree, popped back this morning to move large lumps with loader, and rest of crown decided to fall out and I was only 10 feet from it. No wind just decided it had had enough.

Bit more than summer limb drop !

 I hadn't noticed the phenomenon  this summer until today walking along a towpath where there was evidence  of a couple of large oak limbs having fallen in full leaf, Obviously the leaves add weight, and hence leverage, but I wonder if the lignin becoming more plastic in the heat  exacerbates the strain.
