I have a 20' Oak tree that has brown spots on it's leaves and then the leaves turn completly brown and fall off. Is there something I can do and/or is this a major concern? Thanks for your help. |
Michael, I am sorry for this delayed reply to your gardening question. The spring rush has brought a deluge of questions and we are working hard to catch up! That is most likely due to oak leaf blister disease or a similar fungus. It generally doesn't re-attack the tree in the summer so I would not worry about it now. The damage was done when the leaves first were emerging although symptoms showed up much later. The following web page gives more information: http://sickplants.tamu.edu/doc... Thanks for the question. Best wishes for a wonderful gardening season. Please stop in again soon! |
