  • Hi Roy,

    Are the affected trees Pears?

    Maybe you can send me some pictures and I will see what I can come up with for you. It is more than likely a fungal disease that can be controlled with one of the many fungicides that we can supply.

    Cheers Ollie,

    • Evening Roy,

      I think I know what you mean, but I will wait until you upload some pictures before I attempt to diagnose it!

    • Hi Roy,

      It does look like Coral Spot and it will start on dead wood left behind after pruning, but it can actually start to work its way back into the live parts of the plant too.

      It is always assumed that there is no chemical control, and that all you can do is prune the affected wood out of the tree and keep doing this until the disease stops. It is also advised that you should prune them during dry weather.

      This aside, it might also be worth trying a myclobutanil based fungicide such as Systhane. If you want any more information on this product, drop me an email.

      Cheers Ollie

      • last year i cut back all infected branches but it is back even worse it is now covering most branches 

  • looks like coral spot (nectria cinnabarina) its a fugal infection normal found on dead branches or poorly pruned trees/shrubs

    • this is on new growth not on old growth tree is pruned each year 

      • it will transfer onto a living plant if there is dead wood around or on the plant,

        What plant are you finding it on?
