RE: BEECH LEAF DISEASE
This is NOT Beech Bark Disease, which we're all familiar with. Identified in 2012, it's currently being researched. Not that beech hasn't already been pretty-much wiped out by BBD.

Not good, I still have nice beech in my woods.
Is the BBD and BLD up in North Eastern PA? Seems somethings gonna kill every tree out there. I have no live ashes left basically anywhere near me, all the Oaks were logged years ago on my mountain so I have tons of Beech, Maple, Chery..... So what do I look for on the Beech trees for both diseases?
