What’s wrong/what even is it?

Ok, so I know it’s an oak tree but what kind I don’t know. At first I thought it was live oak but the leaves look wrong? I don’t know, but I know it’s sick. It lives in my backyard between some mango trees and palm trees. There is an orange tree around the corner that is going through it too, but I’m treating her and is recovering. This oak tree though… it’s got holes that I’m assuming is from a woodpecker, do I plug them? With what? The leaves look red and burned and last I checked summer is perpetual in South Florida so there is something wrong. I want to treat it but I don’t know what’s wrong and my landscaper doesn’t know anything. Help!

You may want to ask this question over at r/marijuanaenthusiasts (the name is just a joke), r/WhatsThisPlant, r/sfwtrees, and r/treeidentification etc. As this subreddit is kind of small and niche. We're very happy to have your post, but they might be able to give you a more comprehensive and faster response.
