Texas red oaks generally die within 7 to 30 days after the first disease symptom. Leaves turn brown and remain on the tree for weeks. Sucker sprouts often form on the dying trunks, but a diseased tree rarely survives more than one season. Most live oaks die within 60 days to 2 years after initial infection is observed.
Vast areas of the Texas Hill Country have been devastated by the fungus that causes the disease called oak wilt. Researchers, foresters and Extension workers at Texas A&M University have developed a program to stop this needless loss of one of Texas’s most precious natural resources.
This disease can occur on many species of oak, but are most prevalent on red oaks. CAUSAL AGENT. Tubakia (formerly known as Actinopelte) dryina (fungus) The fungus survives over the winter in affected twigs and foliage.
The major disease threat to live and red oak trees in our area is oak wilt. The disease is expressed in red oaks (Texas, Schumard, Blackjack) by a healthy tree showing fall-like coloring in late spring or early fall and dying.
Red oaks never survive oak wilt and often die within 4 to 6 weeks following the initial appearance of symptoms. During summer months, diseased red oaks can often be spotted from a distance because of their bright, autumn-like coloration in contrast to the surrounding greenery.
Oak wilt infections of red oaks in late spring and summer usually do not give rise to fungal mats due to high temperatures and low moisture conditions. Fungal mats can be found by looking for inconspicuous narrow cracks in the bark of dying red oaks leading to hollow areas between the bark and wood.
