| Browning of leaves (Marssonina) |
| First, small brown spots, then linked together.
This is not dangerous for the tree. |
|
| |
| Chestnut canker (Cryphonectria parasitica) |
| Trunks and branches are affected. The
bark splits open and it becomes discolored. The leaves wilt, but do
not fall off. This is dangerous because oaks may also be affected.
Without treatment this canker will lead to the tree dying. In any
case, an expert should be called. |
