Thousand Cankers Disease (TCD)
What is it? A disease of some walnut trees that is caused by an insect and a fungus
Where is it? In western and southwestern areas of the United States; in Tennessee (2010), Virginia, Pennsylvania (2011)
Why is it important? Because as it spreads eastward, it threatens native eastern black walnut
What are we doing? Prevention, early detection; management

Thousand Cankers Disease: What is it?
Two Juglans occur in Minnesota
A disease of walnut trees (Juglans species)…

Eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra): Very susceptible

The walnut twig beetle introduces a fungus - Geosmithia morbida
that kills the bark and phloem, causing a canker

the cortex or bark of a plant.”(Tainter & Baker, 1996)

Cankers grow together, eventually girdling and killing the branch or trunk

TCD is in all the red states

…because it threatens eastern black walnut in its native range & there is no control
Why is it important?

Black Walnut in Minnesota
5.9 million trees on forestland; Winona, Wabasha, Fillmore Counties > 1 million black walnut each
Annual state harvest is 1-2 million board feet; 4% of $75 million total stumpage value for all wood harvested
40+ mills in Minnesota use walnut; 12% imported (WI, IA) bark on
Almost 300,000 black walnut in urban areas (2010 MN DNR Rapid Assessment data).

Timber Low; little timber shipped from west to east
Firewood Low - moderate; firewood distributors, long distance campers

Early Detection
2011 • More than 2500 walnut trees visually assessed in
urban, rural and industrial communities • 5 suspect trees sampled and examined in lab• NO TCD
2012 • Visual assessment of walnut trees at or near
mills that use walnut• Traps with walnut twig beetle lure hung at 2 sites• Data analyses in progress
2013 • Farm bill funding for TCD surveys in MN and 16
other states• MN will hang traps at 10 high risk sites• Continue visual assessment
