🌳 Is your oak losing bark or looking thinner than usual?
Hypoxylon canker is a fungal disease that can become active in oaks weakened by drought, heat, root damage, or other stress.
🔎 Watch for:
• Bark breaking away from the trunk or branches
• Unusual brown, gray, or black patches beneath the bark
• A thinning canopy or dying limbs
These changes don’t automatically mean Hypoxylon, but they deserve a closer look. Once established, this disease has no curative treatment and can weaken the wood, making a safety assessment important.
