Certified Arborist came out today and gave me the bad news - Yep, Oak Wilt. Has gotten 5 or 6 trees in the last couple of years and is already working on at least 3 this year - All Red Oaks. We have owned this property for at least 25 years and he could not explain why this just recently started happening.
Bad news is there is no saving an infected tree and treatment for other trees is about $4 per inch of tree circumference - every other year !!
Good news is I learned all this for a $35 consultation/learning fee.
Thanks for the previous help and let me know if you have any questions.
