Recognizing Oak Wilt
Posted by Nick Weynand in Oak Wilt on February 28th, 2009
The following image shows leaves from a tree with Oak Wilt.
Here is a photo of leaves from a Live Oak tree that has Oak Wilt.
These were leaves that Chris Dolan brought to our quarterly meeting back in March 2007. I dared to take them home and scan them in. So far, our trees are fine. IF YOUR LIVE OAK TREE LEAVES HAVE THESE RED VEINS, GET THEM TREATED ASAP!!!

Fun place with a kind of upscale presence, but no snobbishness (take your nice dogs to Satellite!) Great happy hour appetizers.
