Corkscrew Willow problem

[ScottF]

Almost certainly anthracnose (Marssonina

salicicola). We've had shedloads of it down here in North Wales since 2007.

 

If we have a nice long dry summer the tree could recover and prune and the dead.

 

 

Still laughing about the "summer" gag.

 

 

 

 

Took one down last week. Looking decidedly unhappy; tiny bleeding areas, areas of dead bark....anthracnose?

Hi Tom,

 

Was the problem associated with all willows or just Cork screw?

 

 

Only a month to go Tom, give me a call or Pm me to finalise details of the trip etc....hope you're well

 

I'm off work till Monday, but on work phone at home.

Hi David,

 

a lot more willows than usually seemed to suffer last year, but particularly the corkscrew willows.

 

I'll contact you one of these days, still working out how many we will be.

 

Cheers,

Tom
