All oaks can be infected by oak wilt. Some types of oaks are more susceptible than others. There are three groups of oaks, which range from highly susceptible to resistant to the disease:
- Red Oaks are most susceptible to oak wilt (100% mortality)
- Live Oaks are very susceptible (85% mortality)
- White Oaks are often (not always) resistant, with occasional mortality
