[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 287724, member: 245"] What they pump into the trees is a fungicide. Same treatment they use for the important elms up here and yes its a very expensive process. As I say the problem is sort of two fold. You have a tree killing fungus that is spread by insects, As far as spores rising when you burn the wood, I'd be skeptical. Fungus needs moisture to live and even wet wood dries out before it burns. Anyway, far better to burn it then leave it laying around so the insects can spread it. If its Oak Wilt (caused by a fungus), the first sign you'll see is just one or two branches where the leaves turn brown and (its called 'flagging). By that time its too late unless you want to try to save the tree by pumping it full of fungicide, otherwise better to take it down before it spreads and yes, it does spread through root systems as well as by insects. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
