Beech bark disease is a disease that causes mortality and defects in beech trees in the eastern United States, Canada and Europe. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In North America , the disease occurs after extensive bark invasion by Xylococculus betulae and the beech scale insect , Cryptococcus fagisuga . [ 4 ]
Frost crack or Southwest canker [1] is a form of tree bark damage sometimes found on thin barked trees, visible as vertical fractures on the southerly facing surfaces of tree trunks. Frost crack is distinct from sun scald and sun crack and physically differs from normal rough-bark characteristics as seen in mature oaks , pines , poplars and ...
Trees have natural chemicals that keep most fungi at bay, but climate change could be making trees more vulnerable, researcher says. Citizen scientists to study this tree disease found in ...
It commonly lives more than 500 years and occasionally more than 1,200 years. The bark on young trees is thin, smooth, gray, and covered with resin blisters. On mature trees, it is moderately thick (3–6 cm, 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in), furrowed and corky though much less so than coast Douglas-fir. Foliage
The bark is dark grey to black, deeply furrowed ironbark on the trunk and larger branches, smooth white to grey on the thinnest branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have lance-shaped to oblong or linear leaves that are 30–110 mm (1.2–4.3 in) long and 5–35 mm (0.20–1.38 in) wide.
Aleurodiscus oakesii on tree bark. Aleurodiscus oakesii is the most common fungi to cause “smooth patch disease” on the nonliving outer bark of trees. This fungal infection can lead to trees shedding and leaving smooth and lighter patches of bark on the tree, giving “smooth patch” its meaning.
The disease is spread from tree to tree through root grafts and over larger distances by sap-feeding beetles (Nitidulidae) and the small oak bark beetle. Shoestring root rot ( Armillaria mellea ) attacks black oak and may kill trees weakened by fire, lightning, drought, insects, or other diseases.
