How can I get rid of fruit tree canker?

Created by arlendean on October 9, 2017 at 10:53 am

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!
