CARPINUS DISEASE PROBLEMS
Several fungi cause leaf spots on Carpinus. Leaf spots
are not serious so control measures are usually not
needed.
Canker caused by several fungi causes infected branches to
dieback and entire trees die if the trunk is infected and
girdled. Severely infected trees can not be saved and
infected branches are pruned out.
Powdery mildew causes a white powdery growth on the
leaves. The disease is not common on Carpinus.
