Moore arborist consultations usually start with emerald ash borer. Confirmed in eastern Oklahoma and spreading toward the Oklahoma City metro; ash in Moore are at risk. Hypoxylon canker is the other frequent diagnosis. Kills drought-stressed post, blackjack and red oaks; a leading cause of oak removals after dry summers. The species we assess most here are eastern redcedar, Bradford (Callery) pear and silver maple. Our written reports also support permit applications with City of Moore Community Development. Moore has no permit requirement for removing trees on private property: the municipal code contains no tree-removal, protected-tree or tree-size ordinance, and it actually obligates owners to act, since Sec. 8-210 makes it unlawful to let a dead or diseased tree stand on a lot or along the adjacent sidewalk, street or alley, with 45 days' written notice before the city removes it and bills or liens the owner (Secs. 8-211 to 8-216, Ord. 812(16)).
Pests & disease to watch
- Emerald ash borer Confirmed in eastern Oklahoma and spreading toward the Oklahoma City metro; ash in Moore are at risk
- Hypoxylon canker Kills drought-stressed post, blackjack and red oaks; a leading cause of oak removals after dry summers
- Bagworms Strip redcedars, junipers and arborvitae every summer across central Oklahoma
- Pine wilt Kills loblolly, Scots and Austrian pines planted as screens in the OKC metro
- Fall webworms and pecan scab Annual webbing in pecans and other hardwoods; scab reduces pecan health in wet years
Trees we see most in Moore
- Eastern cottonwood Huge, fast-growing tree along creeks; weak wood and massive limb drop near homes
- Shumard and bur oak Preferred replacement shade trees after tornado rebuilding; strong wood but slow to establish in drought
- Post oak and blackjack oak Cross Timbers natives on sandy ground; slow-growing and intolerant of construction damage
- Pecan Native bottomland tree and backyard favorite; heavy, long limbs break under ice and in high winds
- Siberian and lacebark elm Common drought-tolerant yard trees; Siberian elms are brittle and drop limbs constantly
- Silver maple Fast shade tree that cracks and sheds limbs in Moore's spring storms and ice
Weather & timing
- Tornadoes Moore has been hit by violent tornadoes in 1999 (F5), 2003, 2010 and 2013 (EF5); spring storms strip and uproot whole neighborhoods of trees
- Ice storms The October 2020 and December 2007 ice storms shattered canopies across the OKC metro, especially pears, elms and pecans
- Straight-line winds and hail Severe thunderstorms with 70-90 mph downbursts and large hail are routine from April through June
- Drought and heat Multi-year droughts (2011, 2022) kill shallow-rooted trees and trigger oak canker and borer attacks
Best time: Winter dormancy (December-February) is the best time for removals and storm-hardening pruning in Moore, done ahead of the April-June tornado season, and oaks should be left alone from February through June because OSU Extension warns oak wilt and other pathogens spread through fresh spring wounds.

Moore has no permit requirement for removing trees on private property: the municipal code contains no tree-removal, protected-tree or tree-size ordinance, and it actually obligates owners to act, since Sec. 8-210 makes it unlawful to let a dead or diseased tree stand on a lot or along the adjacent sidewalk, street or alley, with 45 days' written notice before the city removes it and bills or liens the owner (Secs. 8-211 to 8-216, Ord. 812(16)). Owners must also keep trees in the parking strip and along streets trimmed to at least 10 ft above the roadway and 8 ft above sidewalks (Sec. 14-103). No separate permit for working on trees in the public right-of-way was found in the code. We confirm what applies to your tree before work starts and handle the paperwork with City of Moore Community Development whenever a permit is needed.
