beech leaf disease: How We Can Help

Beech leaf disease is new to Southern Vermont and is distinct from beech bark disease, which our beeches have been dealing with for decades. Beech leaf disease is caused by a nematode that rapidly sickens and kills native and European beech trees. Symptoms include yellow, leathery, or withered leaves. There is still much that is being learned about BLD, but there is a treatment that has shown promise in suppressing it. Contact us for more information.
