Something to watch for in drought stressed Oaks

For those that live in the areas with extreme drought this year, a disease by the Hypoxylon Canker is likely to be taking it's toll over the next few years. Linked below is an article from a Arkansas Retired Extension Horticulturist. At the time of this posting the link will be active, however, in the future, it will be archived under 'Plant of the Week".

On a side note U of A plant pathologist, Dr. Pat Finn was a class individual that was always willing to help however he could.

I am eager to say the least to see how the vegetation/forests recover next year. Would be nice to return to a more evenly distributed moist, or heck, even average year with near average temps. What a Godsend that would be.

Thanks for the link. I will be on the lookout on my drives/hikes over here.

Great read! Unfortunate to see it, but hopefully nature is taking its course and it's not a sign of more droughts to come.
