Sudden Oak Death

11/13/2015

0 Comments

 
Sudden Oak Death is caused by the plant pathogen, Phytophthera ramorum, and can be deadly to oak trees.  It is a critical issue in Sonoma County that can effect your property and trees.  As we learn more about how SOD affects our trees, the methods used to manage it change.  We recently went to a talk by Lisa Bell (UC Cooperative SOD Program Coordinator) in Sebastopol to learn about the current recommended management practices for dealing with SOD.  We have listed all the current resources and links to our website (http://www.westernarborist.com/sudden-oak-death.html).  One important step homeowners can do to protect the oaks on their property is to keep a 30 foot distance between Bay trees and oaks.  Bays are a very active host for SOD.  If you have any questions about Sudden Oak Death, we would love to help answer any questions you may have and connect you to the most appropriate resource or management needed.
