What is Oak Wilt?
Oak Wilt is a deadly fungal disease that spreads through root systems or beetles attracted to fresh wounds. Red oaks are especially vulnerable, with infected trees often dying within weeks. White oaks, while more resistant, can still succumb to the disease over time.
Symptoms of Oak Wilt:
- Wilting or browning leaves starting at the top of the canopy
- Rapid leaf drop in red oaks
- Discolored or streaked sapwood beneath the bark
