What kind of samples should be extracted from a tree with those signs, to give to an expert for microscopic analysis? i've taken samples from the margins of the lesions on trees that looked like that, and had all kinds of tests run without a good ID, so I'd like to know more.

 

I'm not going to repeat myself over and over again on the proper investigative and diagnostic methods, since my earlier attempts to inform you on the subject were answered with, that "it would also be better to have world peace and a chicken in every pot".
