The serious fungal pathogen Seiridium causes Seiridium canker tree disease. It is prevalent in Fort Worth and is rapidly decimating mature Leyland cypress trees, as well as other popular fir varieties. Fungal spores overwinter in bark tissue and spread easily via wind, rain and water run-off. Trees that have been stressed or wounded are most susceptible to Seiridium canker invasion. Infected brown branches randomly appear amidst visually-appearing branches within the same tree. This unsightly condition is known as “flagging” by arbor care experts. Leyland cypress is planted to create privacy areas so the death of a tree is an eyesore. Without treatment the tree will die; therefore, contact an experienced tree company immediately if you notice these symptoms or your tree exhibits signs of a sick tree.
Seiridium Canker Treatment and Solutions
Dead and severely diseased trees must immediately be removed and destroyed by a professional tree removal company. Regular pruning by a tree pruning service using sanitized tools prevents the fungal disease from invading the tree’s structure. Maintaining the tree’s health is of prime importance and deep root fertilization and controlled watering by means of soil drenching administered by a tree expert protect your valuable living investments. A customized continual tree health care maintenance program designed by an experienced tree company ensures that your trees will always remain in the best of health.
