Plano TX - Anthracnose Management
Anthracnose can be caused by fungi that are closely related. Although anthracnose illnesses are not typically fatal or permanent, they can make trees more visible and make them more vulnerable for other pests. Plano is home to many leaf-shedding plants, including oaks, maples, maples, dogwood, and sometimes walnut. These trees are prime candidates for anthracnose infestation.
Anthracnose fungal symptoms include wounds on the branches of trees, reduced twig production, and premature leaf shedding. If leaves turn black soon after the winter months, it is possible for untrained individuals to mistakenly conclude that they are frostbite. Plano-certified arborists will be able to determine the stage at which anthracnose is progressing.
