Do your oak tree leaves have strange spots or blisters? You're not alone. In this video, Paul Pugliese, UGA Extension Coordinator for Bartow County, explains a common but often misunderstood issue affecting oak trees across Georgia: Oak Leaf Blister.

🌳 Learn:
What oak leaf blister looks like
Why it appears more in wet, cool spring weather
Which oak species are most susceptible
Why this disease looks worse than it is
When (and if) you should treat your tree

Oak leaf blister might look alarming, but in most cases, it’s more of a cosmetic issue than a threat to your tree’s health. Paul also shares guidance on when fungicide treatments might make sense and how weather plays a key role in disease severity.
