What is Diseases of Shade and Ornamental Trees about?

Shade trees and small ornamental trees may be affected by plant diseases. Most are simply aesthetic problems and cause no long-term damage to the tree. Some diseases can seriously disfigure trees, while others are lethal. ## Anthracnose Anthracnose diseases attack the foliage and twigs of trees in late spring and early summer. Cool, wet weather favors infection and spread of these diseases. Ash, dogwood, maple and sycamore may be damaged by anthracnose diseases caused by a variety of fungi. The canopy of affected trees may be visibly thinned. Angular leaf spots, dead leaf tissue delineated by veins, twig dieback and cankers on small branches are common. Repeated defoliation may weaken trees and lead to death. Leaf blotch fungal disease on buckeye.
