Non-Chemical Management
- Prune and destroy infected limbs. Disinfect pruning tools after use.
- Avoid heavy irrigation, high levels of nitrogen fertilizer, or other cultural practices which force trees into excessive succulent growth.
- Replant in contaminated soil only with non-susceptible plant species.
- Plant disease-free stock.
- Remove severely infected trees, if desired.
