Main Disease. Oak wilt is caused by the fungus Ceratocystis fagacearum which develops in the outer sapwood of the tree. The infected tree reacts by developing tyloses and gums which subsequently restrict the flow of water and nutrients in affected vascular tissues with the result that the tree wilts and subsequently dies (French & Stienstra, 1980). Host Range.
The progression of symptoms of Dutch elm disease in the crown depends on how the tree was infected. If the tree was infected in the upper crown by feeding of insects carrying the fungus, the first visible symptom is a rapid wilting of the leaves on one or more branches in the top of the tree.
