A devastating vascular wilt disease spread by elm bark beetles that has killed millions of American elms since the 1930s. The fungus blocks water-conducting vessels, causing rapid wilting. It fundamentally changed the American urban landscape.

Affecting 45 regions

A lethal fungal disease that affects all oak species, with red oaks dying within weeks of infection. It spreads through root grafts between neighboring oaks and via sap-feeding beetles. White oaks are more resistant but not immune.

Affecting 18 regions

A lethal disease of pines caused by the pinewood nematode, which is transmitted by pine sawyer beetles (Monochamus spp.). It causes rapid wilting and death of susceptible pine species, particularly non-native Scots pine and Austrian pine. The nematode clogs resin canals and destroys cells lining them, leading to cessation of resin flow and rapid desiccation. Trees typically die within weeks to months of symptom onset.

Affecting 19 regions

A bacterial disease that primarily affects members of the rose family, including apple and pear trees. It can destroy entire orchards in a single season. Bacteria spread rapidly during warm, wet spring weather through blossoms and wounds.

Affecting 32 regions

A common fungal disease of spruce trees, especially Colorado blue spruce, throughout the Midwest and Northeast. The fungus infects current-year needles through stomata, causing them to turn purple-brown and drop prematurely. Inner and lower branches are affected first because humidity is higher there, and the disease progresses upward and outward over successive years. Severely affected trees may retain only the current year's needles at branch tips.

Affecting 25 regions

A fungal disease of spruce very similar in appearance to Rhizosphaera needlecast but caused by a different fungus. Often occurs alongside Rhizosphaera. It has become increasingly recognized as a major cause of spruce needle loss, particularly on Colorado blue spruce. Diagnosis requires microscopic examination to distinguish from Rhizosphaera.

Affecting 20 regions

A common fungal disease of spruce and other conifers that causes branch dieback, typically starting from the lowest branches and progressing upward. Colorado blue spruce and Norway spruce are especially susceptible. The fungus enters through wounds or stressed tissue. White resin bleeding on bark is a hallmark sign. Stressed trees are most vulnerable.

Affecting 25 regions

A soilborne fungal disease that affects hundreds of plant species including maples, elms, redbuds, and many other trees. The fungus invades through roots and colonizes the vascular system, blocking water transport. Symptoms often appear suddenly on individual branches. Maples are particularly susceptible. Olive-green to brown streaking in the sapwood is diagnostic.

Affecting 27 regions

An invasive wood-boring beetle native to Asia that has killed hundreds of millions of ash trees across North America since its discovery in Michigan in 2002. Larvae feed on the inner bark, disrupting nutrient and water transport.

Affecting 36 regions

An invasive beetle introduced to New Jersey in 1916. Adults skeletonize leaves of over 300 plant species while larvae (grubs) damage turf grass roots. They are particularly damaging to linden, birch, and fruit trees.

Affecting 35 regions

A moth whose larvae construct distinctive spindle-shaped bags from silk and foliage fragments. They feed on over 100 species of trees and shrubs, with conifers being most vulnerable since they cannot regrow lost foliage as readily.

Affecting 28 regions

A fungal disease requiring two hosts to complete its life cycle: eastern red cedar (juniper) and apple or crabapple trees. It causes economic losses in apple orchards and aesthetic damage to landscape cedars.

Affecting 34 regions

A group of fungal diseases causing leaf spots, cankers, and shoot blight on many shade trees. Sycamore, dogwood, maple, and oak are commonly affected. Cool, wet spring weather promotes infection of newly expanding leaves.

Affecting 38 regions

A common fungal disease of pines, particularly Austrian and Scots pines in landscape settings. Spores infect new shoots as buds open in spring. Repeated infections progressively kill branches from the bottom of the tree upward.

Affecting 19 regions

A fungal disease of pines that causes premature needle loss and can significantly reduce growth and vigor. It affects many pine species but is especially damaging to Austrian, ponderosa, and Monterey pines. It has increased in severity with climate change.

It was definitely having trouble getting adound, but could be due to having been in the water for a long time and/or having bits of web
