Hackberry Island Chlorosis is showing up again. This was once thought to be caused by a virus but it is a physiological condition where huge amounts of a proteinase inhibitor accumulates in affected leaves from a response to some unknown cause. Next year leaves can be normal.

Some cool work I did during my master's degree (>8 years ago!) is finally finished and out! We found that neonicotinoids like imidacloprid could move from the plant into the hyphae and conidia or powdery mildews, killing mycophagous beetles

Biscogniauxia canker (formerly hypoxylon canker) is common on stressed hardwoods. These are not aggressive #fungi, and indicate that the tree is very stressed or dying. Not much you can do at this point except think about what to plant next. More info at https://t.co/KqXCaDUhdM

I guess with the new laurel wilt finding in Kentucky, we're going to have to update our maps... I wonder if Tennessee is really disease free?

#LaurelWilt detected in southwest KY. This disease can rapidly kill sassafras trees. Look for sudden death with red-brown leaves still attached and dark streaks under the bark. If you notice something suspicious, let your county agent know https://t.co/pyFpMQNpx2 #foresthealth
