What can I do for post oak wilt?

Answer by  tab65 (456)

Post oak wilt can spread to other trees through the roots. So, the first step you need to take is to cut the roots, they are usually about four feet deep. After you have cut the roots buy a fungicide treatment to stop the post oak wilt. You can buy this at any gardening shop.
