Is this phytopthora?

For one of my modules for uni I have to find a group of trees local to me and identify problems with them, obviously this has problems with the really tight fork but are the black marks on it indications of phytophora or is it just bacterial wet wood?

 

Cheers!

Less likely to be a bacterial wetwood,may well be a bacterial canker of which pseudomonas syringae (which most commonly though not exclusively effects horse chestnut) is an example.

Treatment with the use of liquid phosphites both as trunk washes and soil injection has proved to be effective at improving symptoms and overall tree vitality (phosphites trigger the trees own defence systems).

If you're studying at myerscough ask Jim Willoughby about it!

I'm on campus at myerscough. I've just moved on to the BSc from the FdSc, really enjoying it but I am looking forward to getting out there now. How are you guys finding online? I always imagined it would be harder without the immediate support. Are you doing a research project/dissertation elspedo? Good luck guys

Yep, i'm doing the same with the top up year at the end?

 

In first year at the moment so it's just for arb practises.

 

Ye the lack of support is sometimes infuriating, we have a hand in on Monday and still haven't had this weeks notes and then for some reason we receive the last set of notes on the day we hand it which seems odd.

 

The tutors do seem to reply to emails within a few days though and people are using the bloom site to discuss things so if you need answers can usually get them fairly quickly.
