GLEDITSIA DISEASE PROBLEMS
Canker causing fungi attack branches and trunks causing
dieback of parts or the entire tree. No chemical control
measures are available. Keep the trees healthy and avoid
unnecessary wounding. Infected areas have discolored,
peeling bark, discolored sapwood, or a crack between the
diseased and healthy bark.
A leaf spot caused by Cercospora condensata may be a
problem. Rake up and dispose of infected leaves.
Powdery mildew may cause a white coating on the leaves but
is seldom serious.
