Beech Leaf Disease: A Growing Threat in the Delaware Valley

Understanding Beech Leaf Disease

Beech Leaf Disease (BLD) is a new and rapidly spreading problem in the Greater Philadelphia area. This disease, caused by a nematode, affects American and European beech trees, causing leaf deformation, canopy thinning, and eventual tree decline.

Symptoms of Beech Leaf Disease:

  • Dark, interveinal bands on leaves
  • Curled or leathery leaves
  • Reduced leaf size and canopy thinning
