Q&A – I have fungus growing on the side of my oak tree. What should I do?
Question:
I have fungus growing on the side of my oak tree. What should I do?
Answer:
This fungus is not a good sign. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says she can’t identify it from the pictures, but it probably indicates the decline of the tree. She recommends calling a certified arborist to have them assess the health of the tree and determine if it should be removed.
