Persian Ironwood and Sudden Oak Death

I'm in the Chicago suburbs, 15 year old sub-division. Planted two oaks in the back yard 10 years ago. Since then I've tried to mix things up with a variety of trees. Some winners, some losers............I'm talking to you Canadian Cherry Tree! That was a mistake along with thinking 2 ash trees would be great. Live and learn..........

My question is I've just planted a Persian Ironwood in front yard. My initial research showed it was great tree but now I come to find out it can be host for sudden oak death.........remember my two oaks in backyard.

Is this a concern in my area, Chicagoland?

Comments?

Thanks.
