Seen after mid-July Leaves turn brown along veins and in V-shaped

Worse at bottom of crown and interior Slow-spreading but worsens each year Trees infected one year show symptoms the
following year

BOB Symptoms
Leaves fall off after becoming completely brown During summer, black fruiting structures form
along leaf veins and petioles Can be easily seen with 10X magnifying lens Leaf symptoms usually more severe on lower
crown Trees infected with BOB susceptible to
secondary pests like two-lined chestnut borer and Armillaria root rot

Hosts
Unique feature: some (but not all) infected leaves remain on tree during winter; healthy bur oaks shed all their leaves in the fall
Even a small number of leaves hanging on over the winter indicate BOB may be there
Leaf petioles remain intact Black fruiting bodies forming in late fall are
overwintering stage of the fungus Healthy trees are mixed with dying trees;
probably due to variation in resistance
