WHY PREVENTION MATTERS NOW
Oak wilt is already in our wider region.
Oak wilt was confirmed in Niagara Falls, Ontario, in 2023 and in the Town of Greece, Monroe County, in 2026. Both detections reinforce the need for vigilance across the Buffalo–Niagara region. Healthy trees are best protected before they show symptoms.
WHAT WE DO
Protecting oaks, preserving what matters.
Practical prevention for property owners who want to keep their mature trees standing.

QUICK MEASUREMENT GUIDE
Measure across your tree, not around it.
Diameter is the straight-line width of the trunk from one side to the other. For an estimate, measure about 4 feet above the ground, avoiding unusual swelling or root flare.
DIAMETER: USE THIS FOR PRICING
Measure straight across the trunk at the measuring height.
CIRCUMFERENCE: CONVERT FIRST
If you wrap a tape around the trunk, divide that measurement by 3.14.
If you only have a flexible tape measure, wrapping it around the tree and dividing by 3.14 is usually the easiest way to estimate diameter. Actual treatment pricing is confirmed by Saving Oaks after reviewing your tree.

QUICK ANSWERS
Oak wilt questions, answered.
When is the safest time to prune oak trees?
For routine pruning in Western New York, fall and winter are safest. Avoid unnecessary cuts from March through September, when fresh wounds can attract beetles that spread oak wilt.
Which oak trees are most vulnerable?
Red oaks tend to be highly susceptible and can decline rapidly after infection. White oaks generally have more resistance, but they can still become diseased.
Can an injection save an infected oak?
Preventive injections are intended primarily to protect healthy trees. There is no guaranteed cure for oak wilt; the prognosis depends on the tree species and how advanced an infection is.
How long does preventive protection last?
Depending on the tree and local risk level, a preventive injection program may provide protection for roughly two to three years. Follow-up timing should be discussed with a qualified applicator.
Can I send a photo before arranging a visit?
Yes. You can text a photograph of your oak to 716-273-5522 and describe any symptoms or concerns. Photos are a useful starting point, but they do not replace a professional diagnosis.
