The episode breaks down how this fungal disease affects red and white oak species differently, key visual symptoms like leaf browning and leaf islands, diagnostic testing at the UMN Plant Disease Clinic, and reporting tools like EDDMapS and GLEDN. Grace also explains how oak wilt spreads above ground via sap-feeding beetles and below ground through root grafts, along with practical control methods such as root trenching, tree felling, and girdling.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/KBSh_oyWBkIB0HFJp-Zrb3qrAQweC78R_f_F76sBeAg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yMjFj/NzE4ZmYwNDMzNTky/NmJhZmNiNjBjZDEx/ZDQ0Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
