Oak Wilt

[jmcscrap]

What can be done for a stand of red oaks with a pocket of Oak Wilt that is on too steep of hill to trench. There are 5 infected trees with another 15 or so with no symptoms yet. What would be the minimum distance away from the infected oaks that trees should be treated/injected? How far is "far enough" away?

In that situation I would treat them all .

Thanks guys - That's the way I am leaning - now I just have to convince them it's the best thing to do.

Yep, inject away. Been using Prop 14.3 and I believe newer labeling allows using stronger rates (10 to 20 ml per inch DBH) for high disease pressure situations.
Possibly other or better fungicide options out there???
