Some raw resources from plants and animals cannot be used for crafting in their initial state, and must first be cured: these include Birch Sapling and Maple Sapling, all types of Animal Pelts, and Fresh Guts from animals. If the damage continues year after year, it could predispose the tree to other problems.Curing is a mechanic in The Long Dark, which converts raw resources into crafting items. Another option is to have an arborist spray a special fungicide containing a chemical called mancozeb on the trees. Prevention: It's important to rake up all the fallen leaves each fall and compost them or burn them (if your area permits burning.) Fallen leaves provide the ideal breeding ground for anthracnose.Wet springs provide the ideal conditions for anthracnose spores to take hold. Wind blows through the infected trees and spreads spores onto new maple trees. In maple trees, it is spread in April or May in most gardening zones. How it spreads: Anthracnose spreads by airborne fungus and is especially prevalent during a wet or rainy spring.
If the disease cycle repeats year after year, the tree may become stunted or deformed because it cannot keep its leaves long enough to grow. On maple trees, it causes brown or purplish-brown spots and stripes near the veins on the leaves, and the tree may lose its leaves prematurely.
Keep the tree well-watered during the time it is trying to heal.Īnthracnose and dry leaf - click to view larger image If that's not an option, or the tree is not seriously infected, pruning out affected branches may help the tree survive. Unfortunately, the best way to control the disease is to destroy infected trees to keep it from spreading. Prevention: A healthy, vigorous, well-established tree may be able to beat maple wilt, but most trees will die within a season or two of showing symptoms.How it spreads: The disease starts in the root system and spreads up through the sapwood into the upper branches of the tree, causing big limbs to start dying back.Cut the bark and look for these streaks, then take the bark to your county Extension Office for confirmation. Sometimes olive-colored streaks will be found in the sapwood of an affected tree. Description: A tree with maple wilt may have browning or scorched-looking leaves, and diseased branches will have small amounts of sick-looking leaves.Tree Identification Guide With Simple Steps.
