This should get the attention of all of us! Therefore, please pay attention to any trees that might appear to be infected. If oak wilt spreads very much into our community, the values of all of our properties could be negatively affected. Oak Wilt is a problem that each of us MUST take seriously. The trees on both Lots have been treated with the BioGreen formula (see following discussion). On the other perimeter Lot, the Oak Wilt crossed over from Country Bend through the trees’ root systems. On one internal Lot, the trees were infected with oak wilt either by tree trimmers with unclean tools or by beetles/woodpickers transferring it from one tree to others. Also, we know of at least two properties within our community that have had Oak Wilt. Therefore, it will continue to spread toward our community. ![]() Some of this has been treated and some has not. For example, we already know that Country Bend on our west perimeter and Windwood Estates on part of our north perimeter have Oak Wilt. ![]() REMEMBER, if we fail to control Oak Wilt in our community, it will eventually devalue everyone’s property. Therefore, each of us must keep a watchful eye for its presence anywhere in our neighborhood (especially on our own property) and anywhere on properties adjacent to our properties (including those in neighboring subdivisions), and then inform the HOA Board if we suspect its presence anywhere in our area or even approaching from other communities. As most of our Members in Highlands Ranch already know, but some of our newer Members who are not native Texans might not know, the Oak Wilt disease (a fungus) for oak trees is very dangerous and very prevalent.
