Estates of Shady Hollow

Skeletons of dead oaks, standing gruesome and gray, are common sightings along Brodie Lane and throughout our neighborhood streets and parks. Many of our once grand oaks are now canopies of riddled decline, existing to the point of asset vs. liability—and many of the dead are left standing in testament to a dreadful disease too long ignored. Our live oaks are worth saving and protecting. What other trees grace us with their 100-foot canopies of cool, sweet shade, and waylay against our harsh ecosystem to showcase their majesty for generations of beauty and enjoyment? Oak wilt is one of the most destructive tree diseases in the United States, and the fungal disease continues to progress 80 feet per year. A contaminated oak can infect healthy adjacent oaks underground up to 200 feet away. The lethal fungus, ceratocystis fagacearum, spreads and kills in epidemic proportions by invading and disabling the water-conducting vessels in vulnerable trees. The white oak family, which includes live oaks, is vulnerable to the red oak family which produces the deadly fungal mats responsible for the spread of the disease. White oaks can show symptoms over many years. The red oaks die quickly and suddenly, harboring lethal fungal mats beneath the bark. Oak wilt is spread two ways: By insect vectors that land on fresh cuts or wounds, and through grafted root systems. So it is evident that pruning oaks should be done with knowledge and vigilance. How do we recognize oak wilt? Look for the telltale leaf symptoms, patterns of spreading decline, tip die-back, rate of tree mortality and close proximity of other oak wilt centers. Out-of-season browning, leaf drop and veinal necrosis are also warning signs, but words of caution please: Obtain a professional diagnosis. These symptoms are not all strictly indicative of oak wilt, and oak wilt is not strictly limited to these symptoms. How do we manage oak wilt? First and foremost, make wise and informed choices on how you prune your trees. The daily buzz of chain saws can seem more like open season than pruning season. When choosing an arborist, make sure they are certifi ed. Ask for that ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) card and ask for insurance! The inability to prove-up such requests should cast doubt. Drive-thru businesses leaving door-hangers and pulling trailers are not always your certifi ed best bet, and though their labor costs are attractive, the value of resistance has a payback in the long run. It is better to save one tree at a time, if that’s all the budget allows, rather than accept that rock-bottom price for substandard work and risk spreading the disease. Ensure all tools are sterilized. Do it between every tree. Use pruning sealant on those oaks—on every single wound—whether it is from a saw or weed-eater or lawn mower scuffs across a lateral surface root. Vectors, which transport the disease from tree to tree, love the fruity smell of sap oozing from a fresh wound. Pruning paint or sealant helps to mask that smell. Prune live tissue from July to the end of January or in the hottest of summer and coldest of winter. Avoid pruning in the spring when the insect population is high and roots are vigorous. The bulk of the

infection is transferred below ground, through grafted roots. It is the healthy oaks, more so than the contaminated oaks, which warrant our attention and protection. A tree that still retains at least 30% of its canopy deserves any and all attempts to restore its health and vigor. Have those valued oaks injected by a professional applicator with an oak wilt-specifi c fungicide, or propiconazole, and avoid ineffective broad-spectrum fungicides; trench at a suffi cient width and depth to sever root systems in areas where streets or utility work have not already done the job for you; and remove, wrap, dispose of or burn dead and dying red oaks immediately and never store the wood for fi rewood. If cut wood cannot be removed off-site immediately, it should be covered with a clear plastic tarp and the edges of the tarp buried below soil level. Lastly, if it’s oaks you love, consider diversifying your shade tree plantings to a more oak wilt resistant variety such as the burr oak, Monterrey or Mexican white oak, or chinquapin oak. There are also other natives and adapted species that are well worth considering. Unfortunately there is no complete cure for oak wilt. But there is a high rate of success in suppressing the disease and prolonging the life and beauty of our oaks if we remain as aggressive as the disease itself. Remember, without the Shady, we’d just be Hollow. Think about it.
