    I have a bulbous canker like sore at the bottom of my, previous healthy, three year old peach tree. I will try to add an attachment of a photo. What is it and what do I do about it?

    Hello –

    The bacterium that causes canker, Pseudomonas syringae, enters peach trees through injured bark or an existing wound, such as a pruning cut on a twig or branch. I’ve included a link to our page on bacterial canker treatment here https://www.planetnatural.com/pest-problem-solver/plant-disease/bacterial-canker/.

    Hope it helps!
