Bur Oak Blight is becoming common on bur oak trees in Iowa. It does kill them. In the above picture the one on the left has a bad case, the one on the right is just starting and the one in the middle shows no symptoms. Dead leaves hanging on branches in the winter is a good indicator of this disease starting. Our Swamp bur oak has been shown to be resistant to this along with the swamp white oak.
