Thanks for posting, however, not a very good article.

"70% alcohol" Not a good idea at all. It lubricates the pathogens.

Correction: There are no published data to show that diseases can be
transmitted to wood in trees by pruning tools. Pruning green current year
tissues may be different. Dissemination means to spread. Transmission
means to connect and bring on symptoms. If something is used a 10%
household bleach and water mixture will do.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
