Pests & problems
- Canker Sunken, cracked patches of dead bark that can girdle and kill branches. Prune back to clean healthy wood in dry weather and improve tree vigor.
- Coral spot Orange-pink pustules on dead or weakened wood that can spread into live branches. Prune out affected wood to a clean cut, leaving no snags or stubs.
- Leaf spot Brown or black spots that spread and merge in wet weather, sometimes with yellow halos. Pick off affected leaves, clear fallen ones, and water at the base.
