Bacterial Leaf Scorch on Oaks

[John Paul McMillin]

I know Bacterial Leaf Scorch , caused by the bacteria Zyllela fastidiosa, attacks Red, Pin and Scarlet Oaks. Has anyone seen it on other oaks in the Red Oak group? It seems to be a coastal problem. It is very bad in Delaware. I have been doing alot of injections of Oxytetracyclene or OTC, but there is no cure yet just trying to prolong the life of these Oaks. I figure im going to eventually loose hundreds of Pin and Red Oaks. Havent seen it yet on Willow or Black or Sawtooth Oak . Has anyone else seen it on other Oaks ? You need to have an ELISA test done to confirm the bacterium. JPM
