    Description

    A new syndrome was named rapid white oak mortality in 2011 to describe the rapid death of white oak trees (Quercus alba L.) within one growing season. A survey with 24 questions about stand and site characteristics, site history, and symptoms was distributed to forestry professionals to gather information about the new syndrome. Sixty-three reports were received. Most of the mortality was reported in the southeastern quadrant of Missouri. Site characteristics and the affected trees species were atypical of those usually associated with oak mortality in Missouri. The survey confirmed that rapid white oak mortality should be considered a new syndrome.
