Beech In Trouble?
Can anyone help me identify what is happening with this beech?
It was doing great, and then all of a sudden after some recent rain, the tree began to wilt it's leaves, but most of the damage is only on one of the two trunks... Any input would be appreciated... (3 pictures total) -Andrew |

Sometimes leaf damage can occur in the bud, or shortly after budbreak as a result of freezing temperatures or sunburn.
While we're not in summer weather yet, there have been a few weeks of exceptionally warm, then cool weather in Santa Clara. There was even a report hail out on 101 somewhere overheard on the radio. Beech is an understory tree so it's possible that you have some sun- or frost-burnt leaves. If the problem doesn't seem to be progressing, you're probably ok. Otherwise I would move it into some partial (just a bit) of shade. Beech, birch, azalea and dogwood can all benefit from a little diffuse light. Another possibility is fertilizer burn, but with the leaf margins mainly affected like this, I think that is less likely. Regards, Matt

Thanks!
Thanks for the info Treebay. I have moved the tree into a shadier part of my yard.
I was also considering using a humidity tray with this tree also? Anyone have any thoughts on that? Andrew |

Verticillium wilt?
Does anyone think that this may be Verticillium wilt?
From what I have read, I sure hope not... Nervous, Andrew |
