What is Oak Wilt? What are the rules about tree trimming?
Oak Wilt is a fungal disease caused by the organism Bretziella fagacearum that threatens Quercus spp. The fungus grows through the infected tree’s water conducting system, causing the tree to wilt and die. Do NOT trim your trees from February 1st-June 30th. Trees outside of your property belong to the HOA or the Balcones Canyon Preserve and may not be altered by any means without formal permission from either organization. All tree trimming requires a permit through the HOA (Permit application).
