Introduction
In addition to all of the nonnative, invasive tree pests challenging the health of Missouri’s trees, there are several native insects and diseases that can cause serious harm.

Oak decline
Trees are weakened by environmental stresses such as drought, waterlogging, frost or by pests such as defoliating or sucking insects. Weakened trees are then invaded and killed by insects and diseases that cannot successfully attack healthy trees. Usually the progression of decline is slow, and it occurs over several years.

Tree Pests: Gypsy Moth
New
Introduction
Gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) is a destructive, exotic forest pest that was accidentally introduced into the United States in 1869 by a man hoping to mate them with silkworms to create a hardier, more productive silk-bearer.

Oak wilt
Oak wilt is a lethal disease of oaks, especially species in the red oak group. A fungus invades the tree, which causes it to die. In Missouri, the oak wilt fungus is spread primarily when sap-feeding beetles carry oak wilt spores to fresh wounds during the early part of the growing season.

Rapid white oak mortality
Beginning in August 2011 and continuing through fall 2013, the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Forest Health staff received many reports of rapid white oak decline and mortality, often occurring within one growing season. In 2013, a majority of reports came from east central and southeast Missouri.

Before you report a possible gypsy moth find
Many native, less damaging moths that look similar to gypsy moths, are present in Missouri and do not need to be reported. Consult the gypsy moth signs and symptoms page before reporting. Early detection is useful only when the problem is contained and eradicated.

Hypoxylon canker
Hypoxylon canker is a common disease of hardwoods, especially species in the red oak group. It is often one of several factors ultimately responsible for tree death. A disease of the inner bark and sapwood, Hypoxylon damages tissues used by the tree to conduct water from soil to the leaves.

Now is the time to look for TCD symptoms
Although not detected in Missouri, TCD could easily get here on infested walnut wood used for woodworking or firewood from western or eastern states where TCD has been confirmed. Late July and early August is the best time to watch for possible symptoms of TCD.

Before you report a possible ALB find
Many native, less serious borers attack hardwood trees and do not need to be reported. Consult the ALB signs and symptoms. Early detection of ALB infestations and rapid treatment response are critical to successful eradication of this beetle.
