Oak Wilt Information

Oak Tree Trimming Prohibited from February 1st until June 30th

Oak wilt disease is caused by an infection of the fungus Ceratocystis fagacearum. It has affected millions of trees throughout Texas. In an effort to protect our trees from the deadly oak wilt fungus, from February 1st until June 30th, there is no trimming of Oak trees within Rollingwood city limits. The fine for trimming any oak tree during this time is $500. If there is an instance of imminent danger from a compromised oak tree, please contact City Hall for guidance or special approval. Again, there is NO trimming of Oak trees from February 1st until June 30th.

Thank you for helping to preserve our beautiful Oak trees.
