<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Diseases impacting beech trees are an emerging forest health threat. The iconic American beech has been prized for centuries by people for its dense, shady canopy, form, stature, smooth bark, and the many
nuts that benefit wildlife. Two recently emerged diseases – beech leaf disease and beech bark disease - have arborists, foresters, and homeowners concerned. These diseases also attack the European and other beech varieties.
<span style="border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">Beech leaf disease, associated with a nematode,</span> causes leaf death, crown thinning, and eventual tree death.
<span style="color:#202124;background:white">Beech bark disease results from an infestation of beech bark scale that predisposes trees to fungal infection</span><span style="color:#141414">.</span><span style="color:#4D5156;background:white"> These fungi </span><span style="color:#040C28">kill
the inner bark tissue leading to tree death</span><span style="color:#141414">.
</span>As beech trees are some of the most desired specimen trees in public and private landscapes, these diseases are affecting people’s property values, and public park landscapes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black">The iconic American beech tree has been a prized commodity for centuries by people for its dense, shady canopy, form, stature, smooth bark, and the many nuts that benefit wildlife.
There are two main beech-specific diseases of concern: beech leaf disease (BLD) and beech bark disease (BBD). These diseases also attack the European and other beech varieties. Both debilitating diseases can result in death to the tree. This
<strong><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">free</span></strong> webinar will address disease identification and recommendations for preventing and treating the beech trees to ensure survival.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
