Oak Wilt
The most common oak disease found in Texas trees is called oak wilt. Oak wilt is one of the most destructive tree diseases, having killed more than 1 million trees in central Texas. It is a fungal vascular disease that clogs the water-conducting system of a tree and shuts it down, causing the infected tree to wilt and die. Red oaks are the most susceptible to oak wilt, with white oaks being the most resistant. Oak wilt spreads easily from tree to tree; it can be transmitted through the trees' underground root systems or by an insect called a sap beetle.

Hypoxylon Canker
Hypoxylon canker is a fungus that affects oak trees in East Texas. The fungus infects the sapwood of trees that are damaged or stressed, but will not affect healthy trees. It occurs commonly during times of drought when trees are particularly stressed from lack of water and nutrients. Unlike oak wilt, Hypoxylon canker does not spread from tree to tree. There is no cure for this disease, but maintaining healthy, vigorous trees can help prevent it.

Marigolds as Companion Plants
Although many gardeners use marigold plantings to ward off destructive insects, the Alabama Cooperative Extension Service indicates marigolds may not accomplish this traditional role. Instead, the insects may attract destructive spider mites to an otherwise mite-free garden. ACES does acknowledge that marigold roots secrete a toxic compound that destroys nematodes in the soil. Nematodes feed on and destroy root systems of many plants.

Considerations
Originally called "Mary's Gold," marigolds were named to honor the Virgin Mary. In the 1960s, U.S. Sen. Everett Dirksen of Illinois led an unsuccessful drive to make this small, unassuming bloom the national flower. Marigolds do not like cold weather, which make them susceptible to an early fall frost. Cover with newspaper or other protective material to extend bloom well into the fall season. Marigolds, especially the tall varieties, make good cut flowers.

Marigold Types
Even though today's marigolds stem from three foundation marigolds, two of which are named for their perceived country of origin -- Tagetes erecta, or African marigold; Tagetes patula, or French marigold; and Tagetes teneuifolia, or signet marigold -- all began in the Southwest United States and South America. Marigolds established in Europe and Africa via Spanish and French explorers who transported seeds to the homeland.

French marigolds produce small, bushy plants with single or double flowers of orange, yellow, dark red and bicolor combinations, which bloom from spring until frost. African marigolds reach heights of up to 36 inches and produce flowers that span as much as 5 inches. Flowers present as the double variety in shades of yellow and orange. Signet marigolds produce yellow or orange edible flowers -- signets taste like spicy tarragon -- on bushy, lemon-scented plants. Small, single flowers completely cover the plant's lacy foliage by midsummer.

Few annuals match the prolific marigold in flower performance and longevity. This popular companion bloom comes in heights that range from 6 inches to 4 feet, with spreading habits that encompass as much as 3 feet per plant. Use marigolds as bedding plants, as a border for a perennial garden or in pots for the deck or patio. Marigold's orange, yellow and red flowers fill out quickly, making a sun-kissed statement in your landscape.

Fast-Growing Marigolds
If you want flowers in the front yard by Memorial Day, marigolds started from seed inside in front of a sunny window make a good choice. Since it takes just 45 to 50 days until flowering from the day you plant the seeds, start seeds in a proven growing medium in early April. If you plan to sow seeds directly in the garden, wait until the danger of frost departs, then plant in full sun in moist, well-drained soil. In most areas of the country, flowers emerge from seed planted outdoors by middle to late June. Thin seedlings to 10 to 12 inches apart, and keep plants well-watered until they establish themselves.

Oak Decline
Oak decline is a diseases that is associated with fungus and stress. In Texas it mostly affects live oak trees that are stressed due to drought or urban stresses. Oak decline happens slowly. The thinning of the canopy, smaller leaf size, and dying twigs and branches are the first signs of oak decline. Later, only the main branches of the tree are still alive. Oak decline can be prevented by keeping the trees healthy with deep watering, fertilizer application and limb pruning. You can also treat trees with a fungicide called Arbotect to help reduce the symptoms of the disease.

Oak Leaf Blister
Oak leaf blister is another fungus affecting the leaves of oak trees, especially post oak, water oak, red oak and live oak. It causes a large bulge on the top of the leaves that starts out light green and later turns brown. It rarely kills the trees or causes defoliation, except when the infection is severe. Very susceptible trees can be treated with a fungicide that contains copper, but chemical control is not usually recommended.
