Aspen with dead branch and weeping trunk #284987

Asked October 15, 2015, 3:54 PM EDT

Good Day, a Neighbor asked about this and could not tell what it was, a whole branch off truck died but not as fast or with look of fire blight, pretty sure the tree is an Aspen. Anything that can be done? Thx M Rowland Hill Shakopee

I think it has a canker and caused by a fungus. The plant disease clinic can diagnose the disease http://pdc.umn.edu/
