Tropical Fruit Discussion / Chempedak disease - advice
« Last post by fruit nerd on Today at 08:16:02 PM »Unfortunately, our chempedak is looking pretty bad at the moment. I've been noticing a bit of dieback recently but I just noticed yesterday that one whole lateral branch has died. As can be seen, it looks like fungus is growing around the top of the trunk. For a bit of background, I chopped the top of the chempdak out in mid-March last year to minimise wind damage from a cyclone. We have since had ~4m of rain with about 1m falling so far this March.
What do you think I should do? I am thinking of cutting off the diseased wood and potentially spraying the trunk with copper/wettable sulfur. Also, what is the disease? I'd like to do some research into the issue.
Thanks
