USU Forestry Extension presents our April Webinar:
Can you or your pruning crew recognize a canker disease and its immediate threat? Cankers are areas of dead bark and underlying wood. They are common, widespread, and affect a wide range of trees and shrubs. They are typically caused by fungi or bacteria, and some can rapidly cause limb or tree death (fire blight, thousand cankers), while others may take years to cause reduced vigor or failure (cytospora). Learn how to identify and manage them. This webinar will focus on canker diseases that occur on deciduous woody plants in the western U.S.
