The Declining Pin Oak Population in Wisconsin
Pin Oak is declining in Wisconsin, primarily due to the spread of Oak Wilt disease. The disease severely affects species in the red oak group, including Northern Pin Oak. Oak Wilt has become widespread in southern Wisconsin, leading to rapid tree mortality once symptoms appear. Infected trees often exhibit wilting leaves and can die within a month of showing signs of the disease. Although the disease is less common in northern Wisconsin, the potential for spread remains a concern. Management strategies, such as avoiding pruning during high-risk periods and applying wound sealants, are recommended to protect healthy oak trees from infection.
