Oak Anthracnose

Anthracnose infects a large number of trees–but mainly oak, maple, sycamore and ash. Oak anthracnose is caused by the fungus Apiognomonia quercinia–Discula quercinia. It is a leaf-blight disease that usually does not cause serious damage to the tree but can result in defoliation in severe cases. Once an oak tree has suffered from anthracnose, ensure that the tree does not get infected again the following year, as the spores may survive in some infected parts of the tree.
