    Crazy. We still have elms here, and a few are monsters.

    Another apparently severe threat to hardwood trees.

    Well, right now there's plenty of oaks and maples. there's locust and hickory, birches, etc etc. And of course new plant life will fill in. But it looks like it's going to be a fairly massive change. And the treework is going to be outta control. I mean say you have 1 acre of land and the...

    Another apparently severe threat to hardwood trees.

    This beech bark disease it rather mind blowing. I didn't previously realize it but I now see that beech often grow as an entire beech forest of many, many acres in size. And so I am now seeing entire forests on the verge of death in less than one year. Driving by a healthy beech forest, one...

    Another apparently severe threat to hardwood trees.

    Yup. A good friend was in Iowa a month ago and saw the exact same thing out there. It's kinda mind boggling. Update on beech leaf disease- there is no update, there is currently no treatment or prevention, beeches affected now are projected to be dead within 5 years. EAB is such a sad thing...

    Gutting indeed to see the mighty oaks succumbing.:cry: Fwiw, elms are not extinct despite DED, I believe folks are working to bring back the chestnut, and who can say how ash's will fare, I still see little ones poking up here and there

    Another apparently severe threat to hardwood trees.

    I've seen plenty of beech bark disease over the years, afaik it is not a serious issue re beech tree populations. Beech leaf disease appears to be a serious threat but I'll have to wait and see with my own eyes how the trees mentioned in the OP do going forward.

    Another apparently severe threat to hardwood trees.

    Agreed, it is scary prospect. We have lots of beech trees here too, the woods are full of em. Who knows, maybe it won't develop, one never knows. But the defoliated area I mentioned in the OP, probably about 2 football field in size. It's harsh to think of all those beech in that space dying.

    Another apparently severe threat to hardwood trees.

    I was walking the dogs in the local woods open space as I often do, and a couple weeks ago noticed a bunch of beech trees looking stressed with leaf problems, wasn't sure what to make of it. Came back 2 weeks later and see the problems had definetly worsened. Where there are large patches of...
