Bur Oak Problems

Most people seem to underestimate oak wilt as an enemy of bur oak. This misunderstanding, coupled with the presence of bur oak blight and Botryosphaeria dieback in 2014, has complicated field diagnosis of bur oak maladies. Come to this presentation to better understand the slight differences in symptoms caused by these three diseases. 

Speaker: Brian Schwingle, DNR forest health specialist for central and southern Minnesota, has worked for the Minnesota DNR for only three months, but he’s not new to the forest health world. He previously worked for the Wisconsin DNR as that state’s northern forest health specialist for the last seven years.

 

Hope to see you there!
