Oak Wilt
Oak wilt is a lethal disease caused by the fungus Ceratocystis fagacearum. The fungus invades and disables the water-conducting system in white, red and other oak species. Different species of oaks vary in susceptibility to the disease. Red oaks typically die within 4 to 6 weeks of initial symptom development, while white oaks may survive or take 1 to 6 months to defoliate and die.
Urban Tree Stress
Why Urban Trees are Stressed
> less water is available- Unless regularly irrigated, urban trees
generally have less water available than
their counterparts in natural settings.
>Restricted root space- Building foundations, streets, driveways,
and other obstacles limit the expansion
of tree roots and significantly reduce the
amount of water and minerals available
to the tree.
>Compacted Soils- Urban soils are usually compacted from
human activity, and this creates stress for a
tree.
>Competition- Most yards have a dense layer of turf that
surrounds a tree.
Apple Scab
Apple scab, caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis, is not considered a serious threat to crabapple or apple trees; however, repeated annual infections can weaken the tree making it more susceptible to other insect or disease problems.
Chlorosis
What is Chlorosis?
Chlorosis is a serious condition where a tree’s ability to
manufacture chlorophyll has been compromised. Because
chlorophyll is the green pigment found in leaves, this
condition is easy to diagnose by looking at leaf color.
Mild chlorosis may occur as a pale green appearance to
the leaves, while leaves may be yellow and even white in
severe cases.
Injured Roots
Roots Are Shallow
Most trees grow shallow absorptive roots that are
located in the top 12” of soil. This makes urban trees
very vulnerable to a host of problems that can injure
their root system. Root injury is often overlooked
as the cause of decline and death of many trees. Some common causes of damage
to the root system include soil compaction, root
cutting, drainage problems, and drought.
