die back in crimson king

[malc]

I have noticed a few crimson king trees in the area with random areas of dead branches on them. on one tree half the tree is completely dead and the other side is absolutely fine.

I will try and get some pic's soon

but if anyone has any advice on what causes it, it would be interesting to know.

 

thanks

Possibly verticillium wilt (see attachment)

Would agree, also will affect field maples and other relatives. Are the trees same age on council property. Could be soil bourne from supplier. It can take a couple of years to do its nasty.
