All garden infections are better to be prevented or noticed early, but everyone makes mistakes, so you can accidentally miss the signs.

If you understand that multiple trees are infected, and the infection seems to spread further, then it's time to act quickly.

Here are a few things you can do to stop it.

Identify the infected trees

Look for signs of infection, such as wilting leaves, discoloration, or unusual growths on the trees. 

Make a note of which trees are affected.

Isolate the infected trees

Once you identify the infected trees, try to separate them from healthy trees. 

This can help prevent the infection from spreading further.

Prune affected branches

If you notice infected branches on the trees, carefully prune them. Use clean and sharp pruning tools to make clean cuts. 

Dispose of the infected branches properly, away from the healthy trees.

Maintain tree health

Ensure that the remaining trees in your garden are healthy and well-maintained. 

Provide them with proper nutrition, water, and sunlight to boost their immune systems and help them resist infections.

Monitor and observe

Keep a close eye on the healthy trees for any signs of infection. 

Early detection can prevent the spread of the disease. If you notice any symptoms, take prompt action.

Consult an expert

If the infection persists or spreads despite your efforts, consider seeking advice from a tree care professional or a local plant clinic. 

They can provide specific guidance and recommend appropriate treatments.
