ID-253: Species Failure Profile for Trees Common to the Ohio River Valley

Julie Beale, Bill Fountain | Aug. 23, 2019 (New)

Tree failures, especially in urban and recreational areas can result in harm to human life and property. While this is rare, it is important to recognize that the environmental and sociological benefits provided by trees significantly outweighs the limited risks presented by trees. This is especially true when defects and species profiles that increase the potential for failure can be observed or detected. Many of these defects are associated with certain species. This is referred to as the species failure profile.

PPFS-OR-W-25: Dothistroma Needle Blight of Pine

Julie Beale, Walt Reichert, Nicole Ward Gauthier | Jul. 1, 2017 (New)

Dothistroma needle blight disease afflicts some of the pine species commonly planted in Kentucky landscapes, resulting in needle browning and unattractive trees. Austrian pine and Mugo pine are most commonly affected. Dothistroma needle blight is infrequently observed on spruce. A closely related fungal disease called brown spot needle blight occasionally affects Scots pine or white pine, although this disease is less common in Kentucky.

PPFS-OR-W-24: Common Diseases of Spruce in Kentucky

Julie Beale, Brenda Kennedy, Nicole Ward Gauthier | Jun. 1, 2016 (New)

Spruce trees, particularly blue spruce (Picea pungens) and Norway spruce (Picea abies), are popular specimen trees and screening conifers in Kentucky landscapes. Unfortunately, they can present problems for homeowners as a result of poor vigor, dieback, or needle drop. A combination of infectious disease and environmental stress is often to blame.

PPFS-OR-W-22: When White Pines Turn Brown: Common Problems of White Pines in Kentucky

Julie Beale, Nicole Ward Gauthier | Apr. 1, 2015 (New)

Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) is a popular conifer in many Kentucky landscapes, although its use may be limited to loose, well-drained, pathogen-free soil. Often, needle browning is the primary symptom that alerts homeowners and nursery growers of health problems. In Kentucky, brown needles on white pine are often caused by one of the following three conditions: white pine decline, white pine root decline (Procerum root rot), or Phytophthora root rot.

PPFS-OR-W-21: Diplodia Tip Blight of Pine

Julie Beale, D.J. Scully, Nicole Ward Gauthier | Jan. 1, 2015 (New)

Tip blight is a serious disease of landscape pines in Kentucky. Pines such as Austrian (Pinus nigra), Scots (P. sylvestris), and Mugo (P. mugo) are most commonly affected. Other landscape conifers occasionally may be affected by tip blight as well. Tip blight disease has not been found on eastern white pine (P. strobus).
