Underneath the Sycamore tree
As we navigate through a wet spring season, it's crucial to acknowledge the impact of weather on our surroundings. While the rain may benefit our lawns and some plants, it can also bring forth costly consequences for certain trees, like the Sycamores. The recurring dampness has led to a concerning fungal issue known as 'anthracnose,' manifesting as dark, sunken lesions on the leaves. This disease swiftly causes wilting in new leaves and browning in older ones, creating dead areas along the veins. Cankers may develop on the trunk and main branches.
Treatment
To combat this, the CSU Extension advises applying spray treatments as buds begin to swell, continuing this process every 1-2 weeks until the condition improves. Our dedicated arborists are ready to help diagnose and address this unwelcome fungus on your Sycamores and other shade trees. Reach out to us today for expert assistance in preserving the health of your trees.
