Quaking Aspen concern #798033

Asked June 27, 2022, 10:09 AM EDT

Thank you so much for this system and help!! We have 3 Quaking Aspen, planted in Aug 2019. We noticed 2 are showing signs of the bark splitting for lack of a better word. Can you help diagnose if this is of concern?

Expert Response

I think it has a fungal disease. But diagnosis from a photo is never reliable only a place to start. The plant disease clinic can make a positive identification.
