Diplodia Tip Blight In Plants
This fungal disease, formerly known as Sphaeropsis, is especially common among conifers. Its most prevalent victims are Austrian pine, red pine, Mugo pine, Ponderosa, and scots pine. This illness can attack seedlings, but it mostly prefers trees older than 15 years. If the tree is twice this age, so 30 years old or more, it is very attractive to these bugs. In the forests, this disease isn’t so visible, so trees are more inclined to it if they are planted in the garden and are not taken care of properly. Such factors as compacted soils, and droughts, only contribute to the problem.
