Do your part to prevent oak wilt, don't prune March to June!
Oak wilt is a lethal disease of oaks, especially species in the red oak group. The fungus responsible, Bretziella fagacearum, invades the tree, causing it to die. In Missouri, the oak wilt fungus is spread primarily when sap-feeding beetles carry oak wilt spores to fresh wounds during the early part of the growing season. Once established in a tree, oak wilt can move though root grafts to nearby oaks.
