Cupressus sempervirens “Swanes Golden” & “Italian Cypress”.Cupressus macrocarpa “Monterey Cypress” & “Golden Cypress”.Cupressocyparis leylandii x “Leighton Green’’- “Naylor’s Blue’’- “Castlewellan Gold’’.Typical early and advanced symptoms are often seen on the same tree, branch dieback and bleeding stem lesions are a response to the pathogen attacking the cambial tissue, this causes the eventual girdling or ringbarking of branches as seen in these images.īleeding resin on a stem lesion and the associated vascular discolouration beneath the bark of a stem lesion.Įarly Symptoms of disease are discoloured patches that extend to cover larger areas killing whole sections.
Trunks and branches typically have oozing resin and sunken areas of bark often have powdery brown deposits. As the disease spreads inwards it attacks the cambial tissue producing symptoms like tip or branch dieback and stem lesions. About Cypress Canker (Seiridium Species)įruiting bodies found on infected trees release airborne spores that disperse widely, transmission through physical injury caused by insects or birds creates entry points, and poor hygiene during trimming gives the pathogen direct vascular access.Īs the pathogen develops it girdles the phloem (bark) tissue, Initial Indicators are a loss of gloss and a dull appearance in new and established growth and this is followed by needle yellowing. Seiridium canker is a weak pathogen belonging to mycological group Coelomycetes the disease caused by one of three species, S.cardinale, S. Drought and overly wet humid conditions will also exacerbate the situation. This pathogen interferes with the trees vascular system eventually causing stem, branch and eventual tree death. Cypress canker is a serious fungal disease that affects certain coniferous species.
