Sudden Oak Death is here and is creating a real fire hazard with all the dying tan oak forests falling down. Fire will eventually burn up some of the dead zones and it will be interesting to see the ecological impacts of extreme fire behavior and the loss of acorn crops with this algae based pathogen (it’s not a fungus really). What the future holds is anyone’s best guess and this workshop should be interesting. There seems to be no “silver bullet” to stop the spread of this deadly algae (oomycete) though. Kind of like when we lost the Eastern Chestnut forests to Chestnut Blight. No upside to this deadly pathogen 🙁

4 PM tonight at the Vet’s Hall in Garberville to learn more. The wet spring is conducive to pathogenic range extensions. The tan oaks are starting to die at the mouth of Salmon Creek. Pretty sad 🙁

Hi Harry — Missed the SOD seminar last night; however have been doing research on the internet. This article http://www.treeservicesmagazine.com/article-2220.aspx says many types of cedar trees (mine are calicyprus = incense cedar, of which I have many) are part of the cure.
To quote “Heartwood of cedar trees kills spores.Help is underway from a surprising source: the heartwood of cedar trees, which contains chemicals lethal to the mold that causes SOD. ”
What do you think?

Hi again — Latin confuses me — actually the correct name for my trees is Calicedrus …
