Oak Wilt Disease

All Oaks are in danger

Oak Wilt can attack and kill any variety of Oak tree. If you have numerous oaks close together, one tree is nearly sure to affect the others. Oak Wilt is transferred between oaks through the roots as well as by insect and open wounds.

Transferring Oak Wilt by pruning

Oak Wilt can transfer from open wounds between January and June. Therefore, we do not recommend pruning during this time. However, if you have a tree with Oak Wilt, it needs to be removed immediately before spreading to other trees.
