Plant Diseases - Oak tree damage


Expert: Dr Stephen Vann - 10/24/2009

Question
I live in the panhandle of FL and have a young pin oak whose leaves are looking awful.  They have brown spots up to 1/2" long that appear raised on the backside of the leaf and then holes appear where the spots were. The leaf edges are ragged  and some appear chewed.  Can you help me with this?

Answer
Annette:
Can you send along a closeup photo of one or two leaves with the raised areas/spots? I have an idea, but wanted to be sure.  Be sure to review your photo on your computer first- to be sure it is in focus before sending. If the tree is well established in the landscape, this condition may not greatly affect the overall health of the tree.

Regards
Steve
