IPSWICH, UNITED KINGDOM – NOVEMBER 08: Dead leaves hang on an infected Ash tree in Pound Farm Woodland on November 8, 2012 near Ipswich, United Kingdom. The Ash Dieback outbreak has the potential to devastate the UK’s population of 80 million ash trees. The first confirmed case in the UK was in March 2012, and since then, dieback has been confirmed at a further 82 sites, with woodlands in Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent and Essex among the worst affected and has now spread to Scotland. Dieback is caused by a fungus Chalara Fraxinea and was first recorded in Eastern Europe in 1992, spreading over two decades to infect most of the continent. (Photo by Bethany Clarke/Getty Images)
Bethany Clarke/Getty ImagesHave you noticed how many trees have turned brown since Hurricane Irma went through? Theresa Riley, who runs Brevard County’s largest nursery talked with WFLA about how many trees especially oaks look like they are dead.
Theresa says it was the wind that took all the moisture out of the leaves so they look dead, but they are not. The leaves are dead but the trees are fine.
