Oak Wilt Management
What Is Oak Wilt?
Oak Wilt is a fungal disease caused by the pathogen Ceratocystis fagacearum, which affects various species of Oak trees. The disease spreads through interconnected root systems or by sap-feeding beetles, leading to tree decline, wilting of leaves, and ultimately, death. Oak Wilt is especially problematic during mid to late summer when fungal mats form on infected trees, attracting beetles and facilitating the disease’s spread.
Understanding Oak Wilt
Oak Wilt, particularly problematic from mid to late summer, poses a significant threat to the health and longevity of Oak trees. At Get-R-Cut, our experts use advanced techniques to diagnose and treat Oak Wilt, helping to prevent its spread and protect your Oak trees.

Targeted Treatments
Don’t let Oak Wilt compromise the health and beauty of your trees.
Root Graft Disruption
Oak Wilt spreads through interconnected root systems, so we may use specialized equipment to disrupt root grafts between infected and healthy trees, preventing the disease’s spread.
Laboratory Testing
In cases where Oak Wilt is suspected, we may conduct laboratory tests to confirm the presence of the disease and identify the specific strain, informing treatment decisions.
Chemical Treatments
We utilize fungicidal injections to suppress the growth of the Oak Wilt fungus and protect healthy trees from infection. These treatments are applied directly to the tree’s vascular system for optimal absorption and efficacy.
