Cauterizing cankers found on orchard trees can save the tree's life by stopping the infection from spreading. [31] Breeding plants for resistance is another somewhat effective way to avoid P. syringae. It has been successful in the cherry rootstock with Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, but so far, no other species are 100% resistant to this ...
Butternut canker is a lethal disease of butternut trees, and has no cure.. A plant canker is a small area of dead tissue, which grows slowly, often over years. Some cankers are of only minor consequence, but others are ultimately lethal and therefore can have major economic implications for agriculture and horticulture.
Trees exposed to cold in autumn and early spring can develop cankers under the bark of the trunk or branches. Cankers are usually associated with the production of amber-coloured gum that contains bacteria and oozes on to the outer bark. Unfortunately, there are few control methods for fungal spores apart from copper sprays. [2]
Shot hole disease is a major concern of the stone fruit industry. It is estimated that 80% of the California almond crop may be infested with shot hole disease, resulting in a potential yield loss of 50-75%. [3] In the 1930s, it was found that applications of Bordeaux mixture reduces shot hole disease on peaches from 80% to 9%.
Dibotryon morbosum is a fungus that affects the genus Prunus. Included in this genus are multiple species of trees and shrubs, such as: Dibotryon morbosum infects are Prunus serotina (wild cherry trees), Prunus persica (peach trees), Prunus domestica (plum trees), and Prunus cerasus (sour cherry trees).

Bacterial canker is a disease that can afflict all cherry trees, including Royal Ann trees. [6] Signs of the disease include dead branches and brown colored damaged spots on branches or the trunk. [6] Bacterial canker can be deterred by applying a copper spray to the trees in the fall and winter months. [6] Another common problem is rain ...

Canker-induced gummosis on a Tibetan cherry. Gummosis is the formation of patches of a gummy substance on the surface of certain plants, particularly fruit trees. [1] This occurs when sap oozes from wounds or cankers as a reaction to outside stimuli such as adverse weather conditions, infections, insect problems, or mechanical damage.
