Beech Bark Disease (scale and fungus = canker) is destroying our beech
trees. I have observed cankering on many American Beech (<i><span
style='font-style:italic'>Fagus grandifolia</span></i>) trees in forests
throughout <st1:place w:st="on">Southern Ontario</st1:place>. I would
definitely recommend a tree (located in/adjacent to a public/residential area)
in poor condition with this canker to be removed. But what about removing
trees that appear to be in good condition, minimal to no deadwood in crown, no
observed rot on the stem, But with minimal signs of infection on the
bark? Without knowing how long these ‘good condition’ trees
with small patches of infection will survive should we go ahead and remove them
to be proactive? Or retain them and possibly have them die in one or two
years becoming a hazard tree?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
