About Oak Wilt

This fungal disease causes rapid wilting and browning of oak leaves, often leading to tree death within weeks. It primarily affects red oaks, which show more severe symptoms than white oaks, and spreads through root grafts or beetle vectors. Homeowners in Middle Tennessee, including areas like Franklin and Brentwood, should watch for leaf discoloration in spring and seek professional treatment to protect valuable oak trees.
