Hardwood tree species are widely distributed across the eastern United States and provide significant economic and ecological benefits. Hardwood forests support wildlife habitat, contribute to food resources, nutrient cycling, offer recreational opportunities, and supply valuable timber.

Southern Regional Extension Forestry will hold a Reading the Leaves: Common Hardwood Tree Diseases with Foliar Symptoms webinar on April 29th from 1 to 2 pm EDT.

Many hardwood species are susceptible to diseases that produce symptomatic leaves such as bacterial leaf scorch, anthracnose, and others that can reduce aesthetic value and overall tree health. Accurate identification of these diseases is essential for effective management.

In this webinar, Dr. Ellen Crocker from Kentucky Extension, will discuss the biology, symptoms, impacts, and management strategies for several common hardwood tree diseases with foliar symptoms.
