    Oh no. I have three questions:

    • does the wilt affect q. garryana?
    • Is this actually a major species culling event on the scale of say the white pine blister rust of the 1970s, or will it be more selective?
    • Are there implications for the whiskey industry?

      All good questions. Not sure, seems specific to oak trees and probably nothing good.
