    Fungal Infection of Black Locust

    A customer had a black locust fail this week, and a second locust nearby partially fail today. I inspected the stumps after removal and discovered the wood had a white substance inside. I tried to clear the small rocks off, but they kept pouring in from the bank. I'm thinking it's a white...

    Spots on Linden

    Someone sent me two pictures of a Linden tree. He said it has sooty mold as well. Does anyone have an idea? Those are the only two pictures I was given, and I don't know anything else about the tree.
