Perhaps by now you’ve heard of sudden oak death, the most deadly killer of California coast live oaks, black oaks, tan oaks, canyon live oaks and shreve oaks. It is caused by the Phytophthora ramorum pathogen and may have been imported accidentally on ornamental plants.
Sadly, it kills oak trees very, very quickly. It can destroy an oak that has taken decades to grow to full size and often appears to act within a few weeks. Though this is not widely known, it is entirely preventable. When a tree is treated regularly with the proper control methods, it is possible to prevent sudden oak death nearly one hundred percent of the time and it is often possible to halt its progress as well.
The bay area, from the south bay through San Francisco has just the kind of climate that spreads sudden oak death. The humid ocean air which give us such beautiful weather also conveys this dangerous pathogen quite rapidly.
You need not have your trees fall prey to this rapid killer of oak trees. If you have black oaks, tanoaks, coast live oaks, canyon oaks or shreve oaks, call us today to inspect your property and to present you with a plan for the prevention of sudden oak death. And, if one or more of your trees has been diagnosed with sudden oak death, call us to save the tree before you decide on a removal.
