Default saving red tops

Is there any practical way to save a red top from the blight? I have one in
the yard and it is looking bad. Larry

Cut it down and replace it with something worth saving.

I agree with CG. It's costly and requires time, money, and skill on your
part (unless you hire it done).

you can save them for firewood - I guess really as kindling.

Other than that once it has the munge there is no cure...

Chindo viburnums are also a good replacement for red tips.
