Coillte, who owned twenty forests where the disease was present, felled 16,000 trees in one of its forests, having already felled 150 hectares to contain the disease. [15] In 2023 the disease was found to be infecting larch trees at Wyming Brook, Sheffield, with plans to fell over 1,000 trees to contain the spread of the infection. [16]
Ill-health of trees can be diagnosed, and early treatment, pruning or felling to prevent the spread may result in timber stocks and amenity trees being saved. Tree owners and Arborists/arboriculturists need to be aware of the risk posed by hazardous trees. Construction projects sometimes avoidably damage trees.
Oak wilt is a devastating exotic disease, killing some trees rapidly in a single season. [7] Oak wilt is an important disease in urban areas where trees are highly valued. . The disease reduces property values because of the loss of trees and is economically costly to the property owner since they or the local government must pay for tree remo
Co-existing tree and plant species will gain in the void left by the affected species, but often providing different functions. Eastern hemlock, for example, is commonly replaced by black birch in the northeast—a slow-growing, shade-tolerant and deep shade producing evergreen tree, replaced by a fast-growing, open, deciduous tree. While short ...
Plant diseases are diseases in plants caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors). [1] Organisms that cause infectious disease include fungi , oomycetes , bacteria , viruses , viroids , virus -like organisms, phytoplasmas , protozoa , nematodes and parasitic plants . [ 2 ]
[48] [49] The natural durability varies between tree species, geographic regions, environmental conditions, growth stage, and increases with the age. Thereby, some trees are more resistant to fungal diseases and insects and their timber lasts longer than other trees. Notably, the timber of these trees remain durable for a long-time period, even ...

Tar spot is a localized disease that causes mostly cosmetic symptoms and is therefore not a highly controlled disease. [3] One of the best ways to manage the pathogen is through proper sanitation techniques. [3] Because the fungus overwinters in diseased leaf debris, removing the debris in fall can help reduce the occurrence of the disease. [3]
