TAXODIUM DISEASE PROBLEMS
Twig blight caused by Pestalotia funerea is a weak
pathogen and is usually present on dead or dying tissue.
When the tree is stressed the fungus can kill branch tips.
Control is usually not needed. Dead tips can be pruned
off. Do not let dead or diseased branches remain on the
tree. Keep trees healthy with regular fertilization.
