Some are relatively new, or sometimes just new to a geographic region. Beech leaf disease is relatively new to North America. It was first discovered in 2012 in the Cleveland, Ohio area.\u00a0 Since that time, the disease has been spreading rapidly. It has now been confirmed in 11 states in the northeastern and midwestern U.S. as well as Ontario, Canada.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/beech-leaf-disease-dark-bands-on-leaves-18401-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"beech trees infected with beech leaf disease\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/beech-leaf-disease-dark-bands-on-leaves-18401-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/beech-leaf-disease-dark-bands-on-leaves-18401-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/beech-leaf-disease-dark-bands-on-leaves-18401-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/beech-leaf-disease-dark-bands-on-leaves-18401-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/beech-leaf-disease-dark-bands-on-leaves-18401-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is a devastating disease. Trees infected with the nematode can die as early as six years from when symptoms first appear. Over time, through study and research, we &#8212; and the entire arboricultural industry &#8212; have been learning more about the disease and how to treat it.<\/p>\n<h3>Trees at Risk of Infection<\/h3>\n<p>Beech trees are a common species in forests and landscapes across the eastern U.S. and Canada.\u00a0 The native <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/resources\/tree-species\/american-beech\">American Beech<\/a> is a prevalent host for beech leaf disease. Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/resources\/tree-species\/european-beech\">European<\/a> and Asian beech varieties that have been added as landscape species are also at risk.<\/p>\n<p>The microscopic worms, which feed on plant foliage, are thought to have been introduced from Southeast Asia, where they are likely endemic. The nematode does feed on Japanese beech in Japan with mild symptoms. Unfortunately, the impact is much more severe in North America.<\/p>\n<h3>Beech Leaf Disease Symptoms<\/h3>\n<p>Dark green stripes between the leaf veins are an early sign. Looking at the leaves from the top, they will begin to have a cupped or puckered appearance. These symptoms usually progress from the bottom of the canopy upward. Sometimes, though, you can see the effects scattered throughout the tree\u2019s canopy.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6402\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6402\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/beech-leaf-disease.jpg\" alt=\"beech leaf disease\" width=\"1835\" height=\"1377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/beech-leaf-disease.jpg 1835w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/beech-leaf-disease-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/beech-leaf-disease-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/beech-leaf-disease-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bartlett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/beech-leaf-disease-1536x1153.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1835px) 100vw, 1835px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6402\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dark green stripes on leaves are an early symptom of beech leaf disease.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After repeated years of infestation, nematode populations continue to grow. Accordingly, symptoms become more severe. Leaves become deformed and paler in color with a thickened, leather-like texture.\u00a0 At this point, the disease begins to limit photosynthetic capacity. Therefore, trees cannot produce the nutrients needed. The tree will begin to decline and buds begin to die.\u00a0 Eventually, the entire tree will die.<\/p>\n<p>We are learning more about beech leaf disease.
