We can protect your trees from anthracnose.
A common fungal disease that typically affects shade trees, anthracnose results in cupping, curling, leaf spots, or early leaf drop. In the Collingwood, Ontario area, anthracnose is most apparent when the weather is wet and cool in the springtime. While not a significant threat to the health of your trees, anthracnose can lead to problems with your trees in the future if left uncontained.
Some of the most common signs of anthracnose include the following:
- The development or brown or irregular spots on young leaves
- Cupped, curled, or distorted infected leaves
- Leaf drop happening in the spring, resulting in a second round of new leaves that develops by midsummer
- Tan or dark brown spots on mature leaves
Many different species of trees can be affected by anthracnose. Some of these include ash, birch, butternut, black walnut, elm, maple, and oak trees.
