Habituellement, le feuillage du chêne à gros fruits flétrit à partir de la cime en descendant, devient brun et reste normalement sur les branches pendant environ 1 an après le dépérissement. Le déclin initial du chêne dû au stress met en branle un cycle de détériorations subséquentes impliquant l'agrile du châtaignier (Agrilus bilineatus [Weber]). Alors que le cycle du déclin progresse, cet insecte gagne en importance, causant le dépérissement des branches et éventuellement la mortalité de l'arbre après 3 ou 4 ans. 2, record 1, French, - agrile%20du%20ch%C3%A2taignier
