DYK? Oak wilt is creeping closer to Ontario. Our researchers have helped develop an early warning tool that helps to focus surveillance in areas at high risk of... infection. Oak wilt is caused by a fungus spread by tiny sap beetles, called nitidulids, and root to root contact of infected trees. An attractant specific to the nitidulids is placed on insect traps. Researchers collect and test the trap contents for fungus DNA. The amount of DNA tells them how close diseased trees are to the traps. Since prevention is the best way to manage oak wilt, learn the signs to ensure rapid response. Trees will have: Discoloured leaves that turn bronzy from the top down then drop Sweet smelling (like juicy fruit gum) fungal mat on stem under bark Red oak dies back faster than white oak and infected trees can die within a year. Oak wilt presence can only be confirmed by lab diagnostics. You can help by: NOT pruning oak in spring and summer when beetles are active not moving firewood reporting diseased trees to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency #MNRFScience See more

Cutting down an invasive tree and some shrubs along this riverside to have a better look at mother nature. Happy Friday!

Brantford we have a problem! Don't forget to remove chains from around your tree limbs. They could cut off circulation to the above parts of the tree and die or break off.
