Oak trees..........

[Snadger]

All the oak tree leaves around here seem to be covered in mildew. I just wonder whether this is some kind of oak tree blight?

[veggiechicken]

Does it look like a silvery powder, Snadge? Its all over the lower leaves on my oaks. Don't know what it is but I'm sure I've seen it before.

'tis the same here - especially on the younger trees. No idea what it is either, sorry.

Maybe this Forest Research - Oak mildew

Rather worrying when we have dutch elm diease attacking our elms and depleting them and now this stuff trying to decimate our english oaks!

[veggiechicken]

Don't forget the Ash, Larch and Juniper - also under threat (Edited to remove the link as there was too much irrelevant stuff in it)

Yup, got it on a seedling I brought home t'other day.

Me too, some are ok, usually the ones that are ok are growing better.

It's here too! Seems to be a widespread problem then doesn't it? I hope they'll recover for next year...

Get it every year on our oaks. They are 100+ years old so stop worrying:-)
