Trees are different in Texas than other parts. That is why wound dressing
is mandatory to use, tree wrap and wire in a hose are also treatments that
people like Don Staples claim is helpful. Why not just make a news group
for Texas. That way they can address their trees. Its hard when posting
about trees here because of the difference in the trees in Texas. Also per
Don Staples website in Texas, cutting the wood out of the once fertile
forest helps forest health, or so they claim? I guess that is another Texas
thing. He recommends removing all material and it is called restoration. I
do not believe it but then what do I know? Trees are different is Texas.

This treatment does
not work in other parts yet people in Texas claims that forest health
increases with these treatments. I do not understand it. Texas should have
their own newsgroup.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.

What's the matter John, nobody paying attention to you? As far as I
know, oak wilt is only in Texas. Believe it or not, there are highly
educated people here in Texas. As a matter of fact, 67 percent of
adults between 25 and 50 have higher education and half of those have
graduate level education. Don Gardener is a very well known,
respect arborist in this region. I am relatively sure he knows what
he's talking about.
Also, in case you didn't know, every region everywhere has host
specific situations both for trees, herbaceous plants ad soil
conditions, along with USDA Zone differences, making what you do in
zone 8 different than what you can do in zone 11 or 5. Are you an
idiot or just crave attention that you post willy nilly? I'll assume
the latter, so here, I pet you on the little head. Attention given.

I wondered about this as well, as it has been seen in Kentucky.

I lost two massive red oaks this past year and have another two in decline.
While I have not yet been diagnosed specifically with oak wilt my county
agent is allegedly on the case. Simply reading about it sure put the fear in
me as I have many of these trees and having them taken down (safely) costs a
fortune.

No dimwit, it's the insect vector and the fungal mat. It effects
trees which were never pruned in their lives. What do you mean by
"often?" What's your experience with oak wilt?
