plane tree canker (Ceratocystis fimbriata) death probality
 

Hi Experts


A plane (sycamore, Platanus spp) in my garden
(age approx 10 to 15 years,
stem diameter approx 5 inches, height approx 30 feet )
seems to be be infected by Ceratocystis fimbriata.
Leafs are small, leaf edges are yellow, withered and involuted .

I've planted the tree to shade my house later on .

The question is.

Is there any probability that the tree will survive
or is death for sure.


In the latter case I will cut it down
and plant another fast growing broad-leafed tree
(resistent against this special fungus)

Best Regards
Klaus
