| I planted this white oak last fall. Everything's been going well until this week where I noticed something going on with the leaves. Tough to make out in the last pic, but it's spreading through the whole tree.
Anything I should be concerned about? Not sure what relevant info I can give other than we've had ideal conditions as far as rain/sun over the past few months. Also, I have another white oak in my back yard that I planted last year which does not have this problem, and I got that form a different nursery.

| I'm a westerner so someone may come along and correct me, but you may want to find time to send in a sample to the Co Extension (the state PSU website seems to be FUBARed today so I can't look), but that seems like mid-onset Bacterial Leaf Scorch symptoms from here. Also see some environmental stress as well. If BLS, no cure, but again I'm a westerner. Dan |

| I sent the pics to the nursery. Said they didn't know what to make of the leaves but that perhaps I'm overwatering it. Hasn't gotten much worse since I posted this. Anyone else see something bad going on? If it's something that could potentially spread, I'd like to catch it as soon as possible. |

| The nursery isn't going to help you much; you need, as an earlier poster said, the county extension agent. I hope that I have properly inserted the URL to get you to a page that will help you to track down your agent. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Penn State Cooperative Extension

| Sent them an email. Thanks to both of you for the help. |
|
| No response to my email. About 1/3 of the leaves have fallen over the past few days. Not looking good. |
|
| Took a sample to the plant clinic at the local arboretum. Told me it was leaf scorch, but not the bacterial variety. They want me to send in a soil sample. |
|
| Do you mean bacterial? I thought leaf scortch was from winds and heat and the leaf isn't able to maintain moisture. |
|
| No, they said it wasn't BLS. |
