Heart Rot Begins In
Jagged Tree Wounds

Damaging heart rots are an i'm
mediate therat to trees battered
by the three recent hurricanes that
swept across the eastern United
States.
Jagged wounds and scars where
twigs, limbs and branches were
torn off by high winds are entrance
points for heart rot fungi.
These open wounds were Gre
ated at the very time that many
of the heart rots were fruiting
most abundantly, Don Cantwell of
the Bartlett Tree Company points
out. pun -
Each heart rot fruiting bodv-a
structure similar to a mushroom
or bracket-shaped conk-pro-
duces a million tiny spores. The
air during the hurricanes was FIJI
ed with billions of spores. MANY
OF them came to rest on the ex-
posed broken wood.
The spores quickly send minnie
iuaments into the wood of tattered
trees. 1t is by means of these
threads that the fungus feeds on
and rOts the wood as it spreads
through a tree.
Heart rots can kill whole limbs
or an entire tree within a few
years, or so weaken a tree that
other diseases or insect invaders
will polish it off.
Prompt treatment will prevent
neart rots from gaining a foothold.
Between. now and spring, stubs or
broken branches should be cut
back flush to a parent limb or
trunk. Jagged tears should be
traced back cleanly. All wounds
should be coated with a protective
tree paint. By late next winter
and early spring the wounds will
begin to heal
