When can I prune my oak trees to avoid wilt disease?
The following information and resources were shared by Strongsville City Coordinator of Natural Resources Jennifer Milbrandt. Oak wilt will kill a tree, and once it gets established in an area it is very hard to stop the spread. Oak trees should only be pruned after the first frost and no later than March of the following year. Insects and root grafts can spread the disease. The problem has been very severe in Michigan and seems to be moving eastward.
