Disease symptoms appear in trees when the fungus has started its activity some time ago and settled on the plant, which is very difficult to fight if the disease spreads. Therefore, it is necessary for gardeners to be familiar with the way of transmission, spread and progress of the disease and to get enough information about its management methods.
