Thousand Cankers Disease
Help Keep Missouri TCD-free!
Because thousand cankers disease (TCD) kills black walnut trees, it poses a serious threat to Missouri’s important black walnut industry. Fortunately, we've seen no evidence of it in our state as of November 2011. Early detection will be key to controlling its spread. You can help keep TCD out of Missouri by not moving firewood and other untreated walnut wood products, and by identifying and reporting early symptoms and signs of the disease. Use this information to help keep Missouri TCD-free—and our black walnut industry strong.
As of August 2011, TCD has been detected in eastern Pennsylvania, eastern Tennessee, Virginia and nine western states (AZ, CA, CO, ID, NM, NV, OR, UT and WA).
