  • Tree Health Issues: Bacterial Wetwood
    Tree Health Issues: Bacterial Wetwood What is Bacterial Wetwood and how does it work? Bacterial Wetwood or Slime Flux is a bacterial infection which affects the central core and bark of trees. This disease is typically caused by wounding of a tree or environmental stress (compacted soil, large root damage, etc.) Bacterial Wetwood increases the moisture content and pH of the wood, causing fermentation and oozing from cuts or wounds. The tree may look ugly with the staining, but typically little damage is done. If the tree is under severe stress, Bacterial Wetwood can cause wilting, yellowing of the leaf, branch dieback, and bark decay. What are the symptoms and what is it sometimes confused with? Bacterial Wetwood results in light to dark brown and/or black streaks which start at the wound and run down the tree to the trunk. Often, slime bubbles up and runs down the tree. The slimy wood is the by- product of the bacteria building up gases like methane and nitrogen. The slime can be foul smelling, especially during the summer. Bacterial Wetwood is sometimes confused with sap leakage after pruning or damage. Many insects like flies and beetles are attracted to bacterial Wetwood and feed off the slime. They do not cause or spread the disease. How can Bacterial Wetwood be treated? Preventative care is the best way to avoid Bacterial What species are affected? Wetwood. Prune only when needed and follow proper Sycamore, elm, maple, oaks, cottonwood, willow, ash, .pruning techniques. Protect the tree from birch, hickory, beech, cherry, yellow-poplar, fir, redbud, environmental stress such as soil compaction, boxelder, hickory, mulberry, sweet gum, linden, pines, especially during construction.

A foul-smelling sap that bacteria. is toxic to vegetation and ground cover is often seen bubbling from an infected tree. hosts: Many trees are susceptible to bacterial wetwood infection, including: apple, birch, elm, fir, hemlock, hickory, linden, maple, mulberry, oak, pine, poplar, redbud, sycamore and willow. biology and symptoms: After bacteria enter a tree wound, it can take several years for the condition to develop. These bacteria need very little oxygen to survive and, therefore, inhabit the inner layers of sapwood and outer heartwood. Over time, the infection causes the sap to ferment and produce gases, primarily methane and carbon dioxide. High pressure builds, forcing the sap to flow or flux through bark wounds and cracks.
