Maple wilt, also called Verticillium wilt, is a common and serious disease of maples. The destructive soil-borne fungus, Verticillium, kills many maples each year throughout North America. Norway maples seem especially sensitive to infection by Verticillium.
We first started pre-treating valuable ash trees upon customer request only. Since then we have treated maple trees for verticillium wilt more that all other diseases combined. This disease is very serious. It is also called maple wilt becuase it only occurs in the maple family of trees. Verticillium wilt primarily kills off the sugar maple tree. The first signs of the disease are very hard to find unless you know what you are looking for. Once a tree has verticillium wilt really bad nearly any homeowner could point it out. Maple wilt has been much worse in sugar maple trees this year more than any.
