Let us remove your diseased trees. What is Oak Wilt? Well, it isn't a virus or ball moss but rather a fungus (Ceratocystis fagacearum) that infects and grows in an oak tree. Simply, the fungus clogs the tree's vascular (or vein) system and the tree slowly wilts and dies without nutrition and water. Live oaks can die within one to three months (though about 10% survive with various degrees of damage). Red oaks and Spanish/Red hybrids usually do not survive the infection. (information obtained from various sources). There is not a 100% effective cure for Oak-Wilt. While some treatments have varying degrees of success, unfortunately infected trees can die or never fully recover. Some infected trees survive on their own. There is no one authority on oak wilt and opinions are changing.. We can help with oak wilt identification and, if necessary, tree removal, chipping, and large stump grinding. Please see the following links for more information and some identification pictures of this potentially devestating disease. |
