The Declining Red Pine Population in Wisconsin

Northern Red Oak is declining in Wisconsin, primarily due to the impact of Oak Wilt disease, which significantly affects red oak species. This disease is prevalent in Southern Wisconsin and can lead to rapid tree mortality, often killing infected trees within a month of showing symptoms. While Oak Wilt is less common in northern Wisconsin, the risk of its spread remains a concern. Management strategies, such as avoiding pruning during high-risk periods and implementing root severing techniques, are recommended to help control the disease and protect healthy trees.
