Losing Beech Trees - BLD
I live in south eastern PA on a wooded lot surrounded by forest that I harvest our yearly firewood from.
My arborist friend just came by to inspect our property and determined that most if not all of our beech trees are infected with BLD (Beech Leaf Disease)
I’ve decided to treat the most important ones that we enjoy around our house but we have dozens of mature beeches that are in the process of dying. I’m proactively taking a few out that are close to an area where I’m about put up a structure.
I usually use beech wood as an outdoor burn source and a shoulder season source. Not sure what to do when these trees need to come down.
Who is dealing with this and what are you doing with your beeches when they need to come down?
Such a shame. I love these trees and they are everywhere. Our property will be unrecognizable in 20 years. Crazy…
