October 8, 2008 ~ Oak Wilt

Oak wilt is killing so many oak trees in this area. Actually we were around Harper and Doss which is East of Fredericksburg. Or maybe West. Not sure. Anyway, it's really sad to see acres and acres of these huge old oaks that have been devastated by the disease. Some have been pushed over into huge piles and burned while others have been cut down. I guess in an effort to keep it from spreading. Some areas have been hit harder than others, but you can definitely tell where it is or has been.
