β‘οΈThis Red Oak developed Hypoxylon canker disease after being struck by lighting. It appears as a dead lesion on limbs, branches, and trunks of affected trees. The canker develops just under the bark and in advanced stages, causes a white rot decay of the sapwood. This decay contributes to tree mortality, compromises the structural integrity of the tree, and makes it a danger to life and property.
Symptoms:
Trees stressed by environmental extremes and in danger of succumbing to Hypoxylon canker manifest symptoms typical of a declining tree.
π Yellow, brown leaves
π Small leaves and reduced twig growth and thinning canopy
π Dead limbs and branches
π Epicormic shoots (water sprouts) growing on trunks and large limbs
π Dieback of feeder roots
π White and stringy sapwood in the cankered area
