Diseases and Pests for Cottonwood Trees

Cytospora Canker – Slime Flux – Leaf Spot Disease – Powdery Mildew

The Cytospora Canker poses the greatest invasive threat to cottonwood trees, which already have weaker wood density than many trees. If you see discolored cankers, discolored bark, or oozing resin then your tree may be in need of some help!
