American beech has seen better days.

In recent years, a new disease has been threatening its health.  Leaves are falling off prematurely.  Trees are dying.  Researchers are scratching their heads.

Since its initial detection, this mysterious disease has been spreading throughout 12 states and one Canadian province.  Some people are already predicting what a world without American beech might look like.

What is this new disease?  How bad is it really?  Who is the culprit?  And will chemical treatments work this time?

In a brand new video, I explore these questions.

You can watch it here.

Thanks for watching!
