What kind of oak diseases do we treat?

At A+ Lawn & Landscape, we treat multiple different diseases that can damage and even kill your oak trees. The diseases we treat include:

  • Bur oak blight: Symptoms of this disease include dark veins on the undersides of leaves and brown areas between the leaf veins that can develop into black dots. This disease typically starts at the bottom of the oak tree and slowly spreads upwards. Your tree will most likely start showing symptoms of bur oak blight in mid-summer.
  • Oak wilt: Symptoms of oat wilt include wilted or curled leaves that are becoming discolored. This disease is easier to spot in red oaks but less apparent in white oaks due to the natural color of their leaves. If your tree is suffering from oak wilt, you will most likely notice the symptoms in the early to mid-summer.
  • Oat cankers: If your tree has oak cankers, you will notice yellow or brown leaves, dead limbs and branches, and patches of crusty fungal tissue on the trunk. In its advanced stages, this disease can cause the tree's bark to fall off in large chunks. Your tree will likely start showing signs of oat cankers during the winter and early spring.

We use curative treatments to save your oak trees from these diseases.
