Over the last few years, there have been multiple locations in the community of Wrightwood that have had
large Oak Trees killed. The Acorn Canyon area has lost a number of beautiful Oak Trees and the infestation is spreading through the community
"GSOB" is an acronym for the Gold Spotted Oak Borer, an invasive insect that can easily kill your oak trees.
Often you would have no idea that the insect is present or killing your trees unless you had the information to inspect your trees and look for the signs that indicate an infestation or potential infestation. By the time your trees show signs of poor health or mortality it most often too late to do anything but have them removed.
Removal of the trees can be costly and properly dealing with the disposal of the related wood, slash and debris is crucial to help slow the spread.
If you have a neighbor that has large Oak Trees please pass this important information to them.
