This initial oak wilt consultation is free and you will be given a cost estimate. Oak wilt is a fatal tree disease caused by a fungus that affects all species of oak trees. Oak Wilt progresses most quickly in red oak species, and red oaks must be treated before they are infected with Oak Wilt or they will die. White oaks, however, can be treated in earlier stages of the disease and survive. Winter is the best time to remove oak trees and trim oak trees, because the sap beetles responsible from spreading oak wilt are dormant in winter. More information on Oak Wilt can be found on the University of Minnesota Extension website.
Oak Wilt Treatment
Pioneer Tree Service can do the following to help manage oak wilt on a property:
- Mark/Paint wilted/wilting Oaks
- Root Cutting (also called Plowing)
- Diseased Tree Removals
Oak wilt is most commonly spread from diseased to healthy trees either below-ground via connected roots or above-ground by insects (sap beetles). Transmission by the beetles occurs during April through mid-July.
If you suspect Oak Wilt or other disease or insect problems on your property, we can work to stop it from spreading and eliminate it. In a few cases, oak wilt can be treated through the use of fungicide injections for white oaks in the very early staged of oak wilt. Fungicide injections can also be done to oak trees near an infected tree know to have Oak Wilt.
