Maple bark disease, or maple bark stripper’s disease, is an uncommon condition caused by exposure to the spores of C. corticale. [5] The spores are hyper-allergenic and cause a hypersensitivity pneumonitis. [6] [7] The disease has been found among workers in the paper industry employed to debark, cut and chip maple logs. The symptoms include ...
Eutypella canker is a plant disease caused by the fungal pathogen Eutypella parasitica. This disease is capable of infecting many species of maple trees and produces a large, distinguishable canker on the main trunk of the tree. Infection and spread of the disease is accomplished with the release of ascospores from perithecia.
Early stages of the disease show a light brown and tan color that looks dry and dusty. Later on, as the pathogen goes through the sexual stage, the bark will turn to a dark grey color. The bark becomes brittle and flakes off, [2] and black and grey cankers will appear. [1] These changes are symptoms, indications of a disease.
It is not a disease or a syndrome, nor is it contagious or endemic. Instead, it is a generalized set of symptoms that may be applied to any species of tree suffering a wide range of different stressors. Norway maple, red maple and sugar maple are the species most commonly affected. The trouble often starts after insect-induced defoliation ...
Symptoms of the disease on larch trees include dieback of the tree's crown and branches, and a distinctive yellowing or ginger colour beneath the bark. [10] In August 2010, the disease was found in Japanese larch trees in counties Waterford and Tipperary in Ireland. [13] It had spread to Japanese larch plantations across the south of the ...
Acer pycnanthum, the Japanese red maple, (ハナノキ, hananoki, or 花の木, hanakaede, meaning "flower maple") is a species of maple native to Japan, and introduced to Korea. [3] A tree usually about 20 m, reaching 30 m, it prefers to grow in relict mountain wetlands.
Phyllosticta minima is a fungus of the division Ascomycota which causes purple-bordered leaf spot, a largely cosmetic disease that infects maple trees. [1] It grows on living and fallen leaves, creating tan, ovular lesions 1 ⁄ 4 inch in diameter and ringed with 'purple' or black spores.
The fungal pathogen Cristulariella depraedans is found in Europe and North America and mostly affects trees in the genus Acer.Trees affected in Germany and Britain are primarily the sycamore (A. pseudoplatanus) and the Norway maple (A. platanoides), while in North America the most affected are A. platanoides, the red maple (), the sugar maple (A. saccharum), the silver maple (A. saccharinum ...
