A Lacebark Elm got the Cotton Root Rot as determined by the one of the Arborist. I started seeing few white round funny looking patches on the surface of the yard. Eventually, the white patches got expanded over the yard. Yes, The tree got cut as flushed to the ground level. I want to make sure that the other trees as 1 oak, 2 pear trees will be ok. I know it may be too much to ask....but, landscapers as the local arborists, who came, were just focusing on the tree needed to be cut. If you can give me your opinion would be great.
We apologize, but we are not aware of any chemical sprays that will control cotton root rot. You can contact your local cooperative extension office Master Gardener for tips on that specific area including possibly a specific fertilizer to minimize the spread.
